Faedis — Castello di Cucagna
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Some local tradition links the ruined castle above Faedis to the medieval legend of Cuccagna, a fabled land of abundance and ease that gave Italian its expression "il paese della cuccagna". Whatever the truth of the connection, the climb through oak woodland to the ruins gives a genuine view over the Friuli hills.
