Fontanone di Goriuda, Val Raccolana
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Fed by meltwater from the Canin plateau, the Fontanone gushes out of a black cave opening halfway up a rock wall and drops in a white column, thundering in early summer and often dry by late August. A steep path climbs from the Sella Nevea road to the cave and its viewpoint.
