Polizza: Mountain Terrace, Slavia Culture and Hiking Trails
Accommodation in Polizza
Polizza, also known as Polica, was built on a mountain terrace and is considered a characteristic village in the Valli del Natisone. Polizza belongs to the municipality of Stregna.
Architectural Forms and Cultural Symbols
Typical architectural features of Slavia can be seen in the hamlets of the municipality of Stregna: houses with wooden Paju balconies, Seniki hay barns in the meadows of Planino, and Skedinji and Kazoni, which formerly served as shelters for livestock and agricultural produce. The forms combine residential buildings with hay barns and former agricultural shelters. Kamenica is a carved stone that commemorates the Slavia assembly. In this way, architectural forms and a commemorative symbol represent different cultural themes.
Geologically interesting flysch outcrops can be found at I Prati di Tribil-Stregna. If you are interested in geology as well as architecture, this is a distinct topic to consider when planning your trip.
Trails through the Municipality of Stregna
The hamlets of the municipality of Stregna are connected by a scenic tourist road. This connection within the municipality can be distinguished from the specific hiking trails, which each focus on trail surfaces, difficulty level, or the places they pass through.
The “Da Dughe a Stregna” trail is considered easy and suitable for children. For the most part, it follows a mule track, a gravel road, or a paved road. Its rating and varied surfaces offer two different points of reference when choosing a route: the nature of the trail and its terrain.
A circular hiking trail through the forgotten hamlets of the municipality of Stregna passes through Polizza, Dughe, Saligoi, and Podgora. This loop focuses on the places it passes through, whereas the “Da Dughe a Stregna” trail focuses on difficulty level and surfaces. A trail from Casa Martina to the mills of Dughe also begins just a few meters from the house.
