The demanding ascent to Matajur from Pulfero takes place via a paved, asphalt road. It leads above the tree line and is therefore somewhat strenuous, especially on warm summer days. The route from Mersion to Montemaggiore proceeds with steady ascents and over a saddle. After crossing the saddle, it goes slightly downhill to Montemaggiore. This section runs in the shade on broken asphalt, so you constantly have to avoid ruts and potholes. It is better to keep to the left here. The road is generally closed and is reopened whenever there is no work being done. Tip: In Montemaggiore, there is a water fountain at the start of the ascent to fill drinking bottles.

A church with a huge church tower, disproportionate for the small village. From a small platform near and above the church, there is a great view and panorama into the Natisone valley towards the south.

In terms of construction, it is a classic bridge structure as is often used in the Natisone and Soča area. From the bridge, there are beautiful views of the Natisone river.

On the one hand, a good opportunity to fill the water bottles, on the other hand, the year on the fountain leads into a part of terrible past.
