Chiusaforte

Chiusaforte has served as a mountain transit settlement in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since the Middle Ages. Set in the narrow Canal del Ferro corridor, it follows the Fella River beneath the Julian Alps, on a historic route linking the Friulian plain with Carinthia. Steep wooded slopes, ravines and scattered hamlets define the municipality more than urban development. The remains of Fort Hensel above the valley recall the military importance of this Alpine passage in the 19th century. Chiusaforte is also close to the Alpe Adria Cycle Path, which follows the former Pontebbana railway through the valley.
