Section of the Alpe Adria cycle path near Pontebba

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Since June 30, 2020, new tunnel sections for the cycle path have been inaugurated south of Pontebba.
We used this one day before.
The tunnels, of course, with automatic lighting and great asphalt.
Saves steep ramps and old sliding grooves. Some of the old spots are still briefly visible.

Piazza Dante Alighieri

Highlight • Structure

The Pontafelbahn, Italian Pontebbana, is a nearly 89-kilometer, double-track electrified railway line between Udine and Tarvisio in the course of the railway connection from Venice to Villach. It crosses the southern Alps in the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. In the 4-kilometer section Udine-PM Vat the track is so far only a single track.

Since November 2000, a new line with a completely new route and a top speed of 180 km / h in operation. From Udine to Carnia, the railway has largely the same course that existed until 1995, while the route was completely re-routed from Carnia to Tarvisio. Only in the station Pontebba, in the area of the station Ugovizza Valbruna and at the state border with Austria at Thörl Maglern one meets on the old route. At a distance of 49.1 km, there are 40.6 km of tunnels between Carnia and Tarvisio. About the new line need from Udine station to the Tarvisio Boscoverde station long-distance trains in good track conditions only about 45 minutes, while the journey over the old route was about 100 minutes.

Former Italy-Austria Border (Pontebba)

Highlight • Monument

Right in front of the market square of Pontebba, there is the old border stone between Italy and Austria. In fact, until 1918 this was the point up to which Italian territory extended and from here it entered the Austro-Hungarian empire

Pontebba

Highlight • Settlement

The town was founded in Roman times. Today, Pontebba is struggling with a declining population. Nevertheless, it is worth stopping here for cyclists on the Alpe-Adria cycle path. Among other things, you can see the three-aisled, Gothic parish church of Santa Maria Maggiore with a carved winged altar from 1517. The Palazzo Municipale (the town hall built in 1923) has a staircase worth seeing. And last but not least, the church of San Giovanni Battista.
