From the North to the South: A Panoramic Journey from Innsbruck to Udine
You’ll leave Innsbruck this morning and drive through the impressive mountains to Udine, today's destination and the provincial capital of Friuli.
Friuli – or Julian Veneto – is the region on the border with Austria and Slovenia. It’s bordered by the Alps in the north and the Adriatic Sea in the south. The Karst Plateau formed by barren rocks is impressive, and the views of the Eastern Dolomites and the Carnic and Julian Alps are spectacular.
The diversity of the landscape also corresponds to a rich cultural heritage, which has been shaped by different peoples who today coexist peacefully with their different traditions.
