On Saturday, we decided to take the plunge and go walk through Humus Park. There are many entrances for the nature park, and the walks begin in different towns. We decided to walk two of them on Saturday. We spent just over 4 hours walking and exploring. Be prepared for photo overload. That’s what I love most about my weekend in reviews… the memories, the photos of exploration. Hope you enjoy.
We started out in Polcenigio. Arianna was happy to take a photo in front of the trail sign. We stumbled upon on excavation site as well!
We had to cross a small bridge to get to the main path. The girls were obsessed with the water. The water drains from River Livenza.
There were many flood water gates to prevent neighborhoods from flooding. The girls wanted to climb on all of them and walk as far to the center as possible. Most of them looked out to some waterfalls that formed from the gates being set in place.
The land is referred to as the Natural Land of Art because of the different thing it showcases. The art placed around the land uses things that are found within the land. It is marked with what it is and who found it and turned it in to art. It is an extremely educational site.
Some artists just took twigs or whatever else they could find to create fun and interactive pieces. Like this one pictured above is a picture frame that people can stand behind to place their faces within to take a photo.
The river is such a clear body of water. It changes colors based on how the sun is hitting. We saw so many different shades from green to ice blue to gray to brown and so on. It was so much more beautiful in person.
There are many areas of the footpath where the backdrop is the mountains. It was such a peaceful environment. Here the water is green. You can see straight to the bottom!
The trees were all kinds of fun shapes. They grew all different directions. It was interesting to see. Behind Arianna, the one on the left, you can see some chopped up tree branches tied together to form some pieces of art. They almost looked like wine corks, but they very much were chopped tree branches/trunks.
Here is a photo of the ice blue water!! It is so clean that people use it without having to filter it for all sorts of things. Wiley even refilled our water bottle with the water from the river, and it tasted like pure mineral water. So incredible!!
This is how Mommy and Baby Carl made it through the walk. Lillebaby and sunhat for protection! 😉
