Pontebba is a small village, but it has lived through more history than many far larger places. For centuries it was a border point between Venetian Friuli and the Habsburg Empire, between different languages, cultures and political systems. The Pontebbana stream, which still crosses the centre of the village today, marked the boundary between two worlds. Italy on one side, Austria on the other.
The MACA route in Pontebba is a walk of just over one kilometre through the heart of the village, suitable for the whole family and accessible in every season. Short in distance, rich in content: along the route you encounter the Great War Museum, which tells the story of the marks left by the conflict on this border territory, and the interactive palaeontology exhibition, which takes your gaze much further back in time, to the ages when these mountains were still submerged by the sea.
With MACA, every point on the route becomes an opportunity for discovery. The app-guided stops tell the layered history of Pontebba, from the Republic of Venice and the Habsburg presence to post-war reconstruction, giving the village a depth that is not immediately visible at first glance.
Before setting off, it is useful to check the opening hours of the museums, as they vary according to the season.
