The Very Rocky "Cima dei Preti" (Priests Peak) Massif (2706m a.s.l.) Is the Highest Summit in the "Rural Part" of Dolomites, the Branch in FVG, Dominates the Dry Bed of the "Cimoliana" Stream/Valley; Friulian Dolomites Natural Park, Pordenone, Italia
07-march-2021: the Prominence of Cima dei Preti from Cimoliana valley (almost 2100m, or the height of the mountain not from sea level, but from where it REALLY RISES) is one of the most massive in the South-Eastern Alpine Sector.
Although it is a "Natural Park" and even if it is an asset of humanity for UNESCO, it is precisely this "humanity" that cannot benefit from the splendid excursions in this fascinatingly wild area!
The area, despite taxes and European funds, is left to its FATE, as is for the naturalists, hikers and old mountaineers who would like to get to know it better (without risking a heart attack).
From a certain point of view, being also a very tormented area from an orographic and morphological point of view, the fact of leaving it to itself, without wanting to develop any form of mass tourism, can be a good thing to preserve the virginity of these mountains, of their vegetation. and their animals, BUT to find only closed roads, barred, with no access everywhere (roads that would be used and were used to avoid walking 15 and pass kilometers of paved roads on the long and flat valley floor, reaching the real starting point of the excursion not already sweaty and annoyed!) is far too demoralizing.
The territory is also quite small, they would have only 3 asphalted streets to keep in order that flow on the bottom of the 3 main valleys of the area, the Zemola, the Settimana and, of course, the Cimoliana, but all three are closed from the start at 600m a.s.l.
It's okay to preserve Nature, but for this to make sense, the area must, in a contingent and intelligent way, be able to access and use them, otherwise everything is an end in itself and a good way to spend citizens' taxes in other ways... Which??
It is not a problem that concerns only the Friulian Dolomites (although only here you can reach 100% inaccessibility), there are many mountain areas that keep mountain roads closed (essential for an average walker), using several excuses as the restoration of the road following a landslide, but landslide was in 2018...and no one works there...
The reachability of Nature, I repeat, with intelligence, is fundamental for the harmony and symbiosis between Man and Nature, but if this were not enough, I would add that it is a Human Right to be able to access the public domain, within the limits of their own safety, that of others and the utmost education.
