E-Bike tour between Ovaro, Pesariis, Raveo and surroundings: discovering Friuli's treasures of history, craftsmanship and architecture

Start from Ovaro, right where the well-known (for cyclists) and terrible Zoncolan climb begins, same route but different paths. There are many proposals on this tour, from the church of San Martino with the excavations of the early Christian church, and the Museum of Wood and the Venetian Sawmill in the Loc of Aplis immersed in the greenery of the wildlife park. But the most time-consuming part is Pesariis, with its watchmaking museum, the Casa Buseschi museum, as well as the 15 splendid clocks in the village streets. But we don't stop here, with the image of Carnia, in our cycling we will also encounter the Borgo Antico of Raveo, with its streets and quarters. We now head towards the village of Villa Santina, where we will take the beautiful cycle path, carved out from the route of the old railway, to return to Ovaro.
