Excursion to the glacial lakes of Zoufplan, the Cimon di Crasulina and the magmatic rocks of Carnia

Location: Cercivento
Supplier: Sentieri Sospesi

Hike between Valcalda and the But valley, in the heart of Carnia. We will cross the suggestive pastures surrounding the Zoufplan lakes, until we reach the panoramic peak of Cimone di Crasulina, a real 5-star observation point! In addition to the extraordinary scenic beauty, the area is of great geological interest: the clear glacial modelling of the territory is accompanied by a very ancient history linked to volcanic activity. In fact, hidden in these mountains are the so-called 'lava pillows', rock formations created by underwater eruptions millions of years ago, which are visible on the surface today. This excursion is therefore much more than a simple walk: it is an authentic journey through geological eras, where ice and fire have modelled a unique and surprising landscape, creating a perfect balance between nature, history and wonder.
