Part of the Tagliamento will be known to Austrians and holidaymakers from other European countries travelling to beach resorts on the Adriatic; but only a few people really know it well. The extensive sedimentary areas that wind through the Val Canale valley next to the motorway can transform dramatically from a stony desert with only a few trickles of water into a torrential river. The journey leads from the Venetian mountains through Carnia, one of Northern Italy’s most beautiful landscapes – to enchanting valleys, criss crossed by tributaries of the Tagliamento, to the beaches of the Adriatic. As well as historical and natural monuments, though, the focus is on the people who live on and alongside the river.
