WalkArt Project

Interreg V-A Italy-Austria 2014-2020

Rediscovery of the ancient pilgrimage routes between Carinthia and Friuli Venezia Giulia: The art of the journey.

The project was born from the idea of rediscovering and enhancing the ancient pilgrimage routes that cross Friuli Venezia Giulia and Carinthia.

The paths are above all a heritage belonging to the territories crossed, on which the ancient routes make usable the architectural, cultural and natural elements that distinguish them and make them unique.
The paths are a place of meeting, discovery and exchange, made unique by those who walk them and by those who live them.
WalkArt is a social and cultural project, it's an inclusive project as it also includes paths for the disabled.
It is a sustainable project that involves the establishment of networks of relations and sustainable travel that produce well-being for the entire community.

The itineraries involved are:
Heavenly Way
Path of the parish churches of Carnia
Via del Tagliamento
The walk from Trieste to Concordia Sagittaria
Marienpilgerweg
Hemmapilgerweg
Jakobsweg
