Artillery battery of Costa Curnic
On the left bank of the Fella river, on the so-called Costa Curnic, an armament made up of four 75 mm steel guns was planned in support of Chiusaforte Fortress.
Today the platforms where these weapons stood are still clearly visible, together with other traces near the Stavoli Curnic, which offer an interesting walk among military positions, bunkers and the remains of barracks. After leaving the car shortly after the first bridge over the Rio Raccolana, on provincial road SP76 towards Sella Nevea, visitors follow CAI path 632 in the direction of Rifugio Gilberti until they reach a military cart road at 980 metres above sea level, after about 1 hour and 40 minutes of walking. At that point one takes the cart road to the left, where two anti-aircraft gun platforms are immediately encountered, and continues until reaching the remains of the Stavoli, where the road ends. For the return journey it is recommended to retrace the same path.
How to get there
Take the Carnia/Tolmezzo exit from the A23 motorway and continue towards Chiusaforte/Tarvisio along State Road SS13. Once you reach Chiusaforte, drive through the village to the bridge over the Fella, which leads onto Provincial Road SP76 towards Sella Nevea. Leave your car in Raccolana and continue on foot as far as the bridge over the stream of the same name. After a few metres, CAI trail 632 begins on the right.
