Bagni di Lusnizza - Malga Granuda

Access to the starting point:
After crossing the Rateče or Predel border crossing, drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, then continue along the old road to Udine. Follow this road to Lužnice / Bagni di Lusnizza. When you see a church on the left side of the road, take a sharp left turn, almost 180 degrees, into the town. Follow the road through the village and follow the signs for the Museo della Foresta. When the last houses in the village are finished, you will see an asphalted parking lot on the right-hand side of the road. You can park here or continue driving and then cross the motorway via the underpass. Just after the underpass, turn left and park in a suitable place on the roadside.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the narrow road parallel to the motorway. When you see the turn-off and the signs for the La Foresta rest area on the motorway, continue along the road for a few dozen metres and then you will see cart track on the right, which climbs gently into the woods.
Take the aforementioned cart track and shortly after the start of cart track you will see an old signpost along the way with markers for mountain pasture Malga Granuda and Due Pizzi. Follow cart track to a nearby crossroads where there are also signposts.
Continue left on the worse cart track past the wildlife feeding station, where you are also directed by the signs for mountain pasture Malga Granuda and Due Pizzi. To the right, the path leads to the Sella Bieliga saddle.
The slightly overgrown cart track leads through the woods to a clearing and the Rio Granuda Piccolo stream where another cart track joins from the left. Continue right for a short distance on the less and less visible cart track, then take a hard left and cross the stream. After crossing the stream, the path leads into the forest and then eastwards. The path climbs steeply and is damaged in some parts by avalanches and fallen trees. A path marked with orange dots then branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead, continuing to cross the slopes to the east. From this crossroads, we cross the slopes for about 15 minutes and then the path turns sharply to the right. We then continue to climb for a long time in switchbacks mostly through the forest, occasionally crossing some quite overgrown clearings. The path is then rejoined from the right, marked with orange dots. The poorly trodden path continues to climb through the forest all the time and so offers no view. Just before mountain pasture Malga Granuda, we reach a marked crossroads where the path to the right branches off towards the Forcella Cuel Tarond notch.
We continue straight on the 604 route and, mostly in a gentle descent, soon reach the mountain pasture Malga Granuda.
