The Way of St Christopher
This route runs along the foothills of Western Friuli, at the foot of the Friulian Dolomites, between the steppe-like environment of the Magredi di Pordenone and the Tagliamento. It is a route without difficulty, practicable all year round, being at low altitude. The saint after whom it is named, Christopher, is often portrayed as a giant hermit in the act of crossing a river, carrying Christ on his shoulders. The image appears on the outside of churches, to be seen from afar by pilgrims. Its cult was very widespread in the Middle Ages.
Depending on the time available, the needs and interests of the walker, the itinerary can be adapted, choosing the stages to be covered or deciding to walk it in its entirety, for about a week. To facilitate the walk, an APP is available, especially useful in areas not covered by a signal.
