Riserva naturale Forra del Cellina, Regional nature reserve in Province of Pordenone, Italy

The Forra del Cellina is a regional nature reserve of 304 hectares in the province of Pordenone, established in 1996 and managed by the Ente Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane. It protects a large canyon that the Cellina river has cut over millennia into the mountains between Barcis and Montereale Valcellina.

The reserve was established in 1996, not 1998, covering 304 hectares in the province of Pordenone. It is managed by the Ente Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane. The protected area safeguards the canyon that the Cellina has cut over millennia between Barcis and Montereale Valcellina.

The reserve lies between Barcis and Montereale Valcellina, and its name comes from the Cellina, the river that cut the gorge. The old Valcellina road crosses the canyon, once a trade link between the Venetian Republic and central Europe; its bridges and tunnels can still be seen.

Several hiking paths run through the area and allow visitors to explore the gorges from different viewpoints and angles. The visitor center provides information and guidance to help plan your time in the reserve.

The gorge was cut by a single watercourse, the Cellina, over millennia; the reserve's name comes from this river. The protected area covers 304 hectares between Barcis and Montereale Valcellina, and since 1996 it has been managed by the Ente Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane.
