Bagni di Lusnizza - Malga Granuda

Access to starting point:
Via the border crossing Rateče or Predel we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio, then we continue driving on the old road towards Videm / Udine. We follow this road to the settlement Lužnice / Bagni di Lusnizza. When we notice the church on the left side of the road, we turn sharply, almost 180 degrees left into the mentioned settlement. We then follow the road through the village and follow the signs for the museum Museo della Foresta. When the last houses in the village end, we will notice an asphalt parking lot on the right side of the road. We can park already here or continue driving and then cross the highway through the underpass. Immediately after the underpass we continue left and then park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a narrow road parallel to the highway. When we notice the exit and signs for the resting place La Foresta on the highway, we continue a few dozen meters further along the road and then notice a cart track on the right which slightly ascends into the forest.
We head onto the mentioned cart track and soon after the start of the cart track we notice an old sign by the path with markings for the mountain pasture Malga Granuda and Due Pizzi. We continue along the cart track to the nearby junction where there are also signposts.
We continue left on the poorer cart track past the feeding station for wild animals, where the signs for the mountain pasture Malga Granuda and Due Pizzi also direct us. To the right, the path leads towards the saddle Sella Bieliga.
The somewhat overgrown cart track leads us through the forest to a clearing and the stream Rio Granuda Piccolo where another cart track joins from the left. For a short time we continue right on the increasingly poorly visible cart track, then we turn decisively left and cross the stream. After crossing the stream, the path takes us into the forest and then proceeds eastwards. Here the path ascends diagonally and is quite damaged in places due to landslides and fallen trees. To the right, a path marked with orange dots branches off, but we continue straight ahead, still crossing the slopes towards the east. From the mentioned junction we cross the slopes for about another 15 minutes, then the path turns decisively right. Thereafter we ascend for a long time in switchbacks mostly through the forest, occasionally also crossing some quite overgrown clearings. Higher up, the path marked with orange dots rejoins from the right. The poorly trodden path continues ascending through the forest the whole time and thus offers no views. Just before the mountain pasture Malga Granuda we reach a marked junction where a path branches off to the right towards the notch Forcella Cuel Tarond.
We continue straight on path 604 and mostly in a gentle descent soon reach the mountain pasture Malga Granuda.
