Gjaideit

Gjaideit is a hill about 5 km north of Tolmezzo, panoramic and relatively easily accessible. We climbed it from Imponzo, which lies on the left bank of the But river gravel bed, along the road to the famous Plöcken pass. From the parking lot at the northern part of the village we headed to the church, where we found a signpost and first markers – to the top of the 1082 m high hill with an interesting Friulian name via circular path no. 460 from the village church is a 2-hour and 10-minute walk.
At the church there is also a board with a map of the Carnic Churches Path, which the mentioned hiking trail uses well. It gently ascends through the forest to the saddle below the rise with the nice St. Florian church (50 min walk), where hikers head to the start of the ridge to Gjaideit, pilgrims continue the descent to Illegio. Despite visible storm damage, the path – to the saddle and to the top – is well maintained, only the section bypassing the initial ridge head at its western foot is a bit tricky due to erosion. The still forested trail soon climbs to the ridge, on which it persists to the top. It is steep, with some leaves on the path, this Sunday it was dry. Later the path opens up, views are always wider, soon we spotted the cross on the forepeak of Gjaideit. To there a steel cable is stretched over slabs, the summit is just a few minutes away. There are nice views of the Carnic Alps in all directions – also on Monte Coglians, which presides over the entire group – only Kanin, Baba and Skutnik managed to secure their place in this Carnic panorama. Although the path can be continued and completed circularly, we returned the same way.

Djimuzl and turbo described the tour well, so our feet started itchingnasmeh.
We too from the same starting point. First past two churches, at St. Florian already quite exceptional views of But river gravel beds, down to its outflow into Tilment and up to upper Carnia where But rises. Wonderful views, so we made the tour end above its course.
Then continued to Gjaideit summit, but first of course step on its forepeak with cross and bench. Actually beautiful views all along the path, no matter which way you look, beautiful pines along ridge, views to highest in Carnics Mt. Coglians, Amariani, Verzegnis group are staple. On top the view is joined by also M. Sernio, Javor and Lopič, even parts of Kanin and Bab visible, and Zemula and surroundings. Everything's there. Even Antelao peeks from behind the corner. Along whole path also view to Nearby Strabut, which predecessors mention too.

Continued path along little trail ahead and via Ria and Mignezza screes back to parking, thus fully circular tour. Got a bit confused only crossing Ria gully, where need to go a bit further along gravel then left up bank.
End as said, at But rivernasmeh.
