Polizza: Discover the Mountain Terrace and Village Culture

Polizza, also called Polica, was built on a mountain terrace. This location shapes the village’s layout and provides a clear reference point for locating it within the municipality of Stregna. Polizza is a characteristic village in the Valli del Natisone and one of the municipality’s hamlets, whose settlements are connected by a scenic tourist road. For planning your trip, three themes are easy to distinguish: the mountain terrace and the architectural styles of Slavia, paths through individual hamlets, and cultural and geological points of interest.

Architecture of Slavia

Typical architectural features of Slavia can be seen in the hamlets of the municipality of Stregna. These include houses with wooden Paju balconies and Seniki hay barns in the meadows of Planino. Skedinji and Kazoni were formerly used as shelters for livestock and agricultural produce. The building culture is therefore not reflected in just one feature, but in different forms found in houses and in past agricultural use.

Geology, Memory and Paths

Geology and cultural memory are also among the specific themes. There are geologically interesting flysch outcrops in I Prati di Tribil-Stregna. Kamenica is a carved stone that commemorates the assembly of Slavia. These are two distinct points of interest: geological outcrops and a stone with commemorative significance. This can help guide your focus towards nature, building culture or cultural memory.

There are several different options for paths and specific destinations. From Casa Martina in Polizza, a path to the mills of Dughe starts a few metres from the house. The “Da Dughe a Stregna” path is considered easy and suitable for children; for most of its length, it follows a mule track, a gravel road or a paved road. A circular hiking trail through the hamlets of the municipality of Stregna passes through Polizza, Dughe, Saligoi and Podgora. These paths cater to different interests: the route to the mills leads to a specific destination; the circular trail passes through four named hamlets; “Da Dughe a Stregna” is described in terms of difficulty and surfaces. If you prefer a specific destination, take the path to the mills; the circular walk, by contrast, focuses on several places.

Burnjak in October

Burnjak is a recurring chestnut festival that brings Tribil Superiore to life on weekends in October with music, cultural performances, and an agricultural and craft market. If you would like to combine your trip with the festival, check the specific dates for your travel period in advance.

Casa Martina as a Holiday Home

Casa Martina is listed in Polizza as a holiday home offering overnight accommodation. Casa Martina is designated as a rest stop and overnight stay for the seventh stage of the Cammino delle 44 Chiesette.
