Very beautiful lake, mountain scenery and town with restaurants and promenade. Lake may be drained in winter.

Beautiful spot to spend the day. The lake of Barcis is surrounded by beautiful mountains that make the scenery just magic. When the water is high (and it's important to keep in mind that this is a semi-artificial lake and sometimes it might not be full, as in the first pictures), the landscape becomes a perfect mix of turquoise waters and green woods. There is plenty of things to do: taking a walk around the old town of Barcis, walking across it's bridge, visiting the old road + the Tibetan bridge (this has a cost of 3€/person + 3€/person if you want to do the bridge), take a walk around Sentiero del Dint and see the lake from different perspectives (this is free and my favourite), etc. Highly recommended!

Nice little lake tucked in the mountains. We took bread and fed the birds, had a pick nick and then explored. Went around the lake multiple times. Water was down but lots of construction in the area. It was great for a nice relaxing afternoon away from the towns.

Beautiful Lake! Areas for families to bbq and children to play. Hiking 🥾 trails and shallow areas for children to swim.

Must visit if in area. But tourist train ride and hike in Cellina gorge is closed on weekdays till july.

Fantastically beautiful! Blue green seren water set against a backdrop of old layered mountains. Crisp cool mountain air even in the summer. You can never go wrong with going to Barcis for a respite from life.

Nice area, great mountain scenery, good for short hikes, but also for longer ones. The lake is not natural but the result of a dam (just in case you expect a "real" lake).

Beautiful lake with great hiking trails.

A very peaceful place.

(Translated by Google) Stunning place, because it's natural, we stopped to eat at 2.20pm at barcis_tur snc, a place with a typical mountain look and yet crowded, so we asked ourselves, yes, well, let's stop, we sat down, we waited 20 minutes, it arrives the waiter, I ask him to bring me typical food from the area, he replies that the kitchen is closed and if we want to eat we have sandwiches and toast available, ok I was hungry there I order a raw ham sandwich and a toast, waiting for food arrives they bring us two beers on tap after 20 minutes the sandwich and sandwich arrive I expect a stuffed sandwich, guys inside there were 2 slices of raw sandwich dry and inedible the sandwich a little wetter but not with typical cheeses like they do described. I wonder if I have to hold an activity and not feed something typical that makes me remember the place before recommending someone I would think twice. (Original) Posto stupendo, perché naturale, ci siamo fermati a mangiare alle ore14:20 al barcis_tur snc posto dall'aspetto tipico di montagna al quanto affollato, quindi ci siamo chiesti si maniera bene, occhei fermiamoci, ci siamo seduti, abbiamo atteso 20 minuti, arriva il cameriere, li chiedo di portarmi da mangiare tipico della zona, mi risponde che la cucina è chiusa e se vogliamo mangiare a disposizione abbiamo panini e tost, ok la fame c'era lì ordino un panino al prosciutto crudo e un tost, aspettando che arrivasse da mangiare ci portano due birre alla spina dopo 20 minuti arrivano panino e tramezzino mi aspetto un panino farcito, ragazzi dentro c'erano 2 fettine di crudo panino secco e immangiabile il tramezzino un po' più umido ma non con formaggi tipici come da loro descritto. Io mi chiedo se devo tenere una attività e non dare da mangiare qualcosa di tipico che mi faccia ricordare il posto prima di raccomandare qualcuno ci penserei 2 volte.

(Translated by Google) After paying for the ticket we were given a sanitized helmet and we set off to discover the old Valcellina road which allows you to travel a part in complete silence and immersed in the wildest nature. We would have liked to see more surveillance along the route as there was work involving dangerous machinery and people who, regardless of the prohibitions, passed over the barriers just to take a selfie. The route is entirely flat and feasible even for small children and strollers. (Original) Dopo aver pagato il biglietto ci è stato consegnato un caschetto igienizzato e siamo partiti alla scoperta della vecchia strada della Valcellina che permette di percorrere una parte in completo silenzio e immersi nella natura più selvaggia. Ci sarebbe piaciuto vedere più sorveglianza lungo il percorso essendoci dei lavori con macchinari pericolosi e le persone che incuranti dei divieti pur di farsi un selfie, passavano oltre le transenne. Il percorso è tutto in piano e fattibile anche per i bambini piccoli e in passeggino.

(Translated by Google) Barcis-Tur manages various activities around the lake and the old Valcellina road now closed to traffic. Walk on foot or by train or crossing the river that passes through the valley thanks to a Tibetan bridge. All very interesting but it would be nice if you could take advantage of these things not only in the summer and on weekends in the other months. (Original) Il Barcis-Tur gestisce varie attività intorno il lago e la vecchia strada della Valcellina ora chiusa al traffico. Passeggiata a piedi o con il trenino o attraversamento del fiume che passa nella valle grazie ad un ponte tibetano. Tutto molto intetessante solo sarebbe bello che si potessero sfruttare queste cose non solo l'estate ed il fine settimana negli altri mesi.

(Translated by Google) One star and I'll explain why. The gorge itself is worth a visit. But BEWARE: the best option is to visit on foot. It's an easy two kilometers there and another two on the way back. Very doable even with small children. We instead took the little train that in an hour took us to pick up other people in the nearby town of Barcis along the state road, so a useless tour, then took us around a wood, equally useless, and finally we reached the gorge, the last fifteen minutes of a mostly boring and off-topic tour. I repeat, the gorge itself is worth it, but the little train allows a limited and hasty view. Even the scant recorded commentary was barely audible. Having spent 28 euros because there are no discounts even for small children (unless they are under a year old!), we asked at least to be able to walk back to be able to enjoy part of the gorge up close. We were told that we had to pay an additional ticket. So I repeat, avoid giving money to the company that runs the train and enjoy the horror on foot. (Original) Una stella e spiego perché. L’orrido in sé merita la visita. Ma ATTENZIONE: opzione assolutamente da preferire è quella della visita a piedi. Sono due chilometri facili in andata più altri due al ritorno. Fattibilissimi anche con bimbi piccoli. Noi invece abbiamo preso il trenino che in un’ora ci ha portato a raccogliere altre persone nel vicino comune di Barcis lungo la statale, quindi giro inutile, poi ci ha portato in giro per un bosco, altrettanto inutile, e finalmente siamo giunti nell’orrido, gli ultimi quindici minuti di un giro per lo più noioso e fuori tema. Ripeto, l’orrido in sé merita, ma il trenino ne consente una vista limitata e frettolosa. Persino lo scarno commento registrato era scarsamente udibile. Avendo speso 28 euro perché non sono previsti sconti nemmeno per bambini piccoli (a meno che abbiano meno di un anno!), abbiamo chiesto quantomeno di poter rientrare a piedi per poterci godere parte dell’orrido da vicino. Ci è stato risposto che dovevamo pagare un ulteriore biglietto. Per cui ripeto, evitate di dare i soldi all’azienda che gestisce il trenino e godetevi l’orrido a piedi.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church built on a previous building in the 17th century and dedicated to St. John the Baptist. Above the main altar there is a painting commemorating the martyrdom of the Baptist. From the outside it seems smaller than it actually is on the inside. (Original) Bella chiesa costruita su edificio precedente nel XVII secolo e dedicata a San Giovanni Battista. Sopra l'altare maggiore si trova il dipinto che ricorda il martirio del Battista. Dall'esterno sembra meno ampia di quanto è in realtà all'interno.

(Translated by Google) This church ⛪ represents the main religious site 🙏🏻 of the small Pordenone municipality of Barcis. The elegant structure, perfectly integrated into the surrounding urban context, is located right in the center, overlooking the main road that runs through the town. We visited it some time ago since we were in town for a walk 🚶🏻‍♂️ in the mid-afternoon. Arriving there around 4:30 pm 🕟, we first toured the outside and then moved inside the building. The façade is pleasant, simple and sober in its essential lines. The bell tower is distinctive, made of dark gray bricks 🧱 that visibly contrast with the white plaster ⚪ of the church ⛪; a couple of benches have been placed at the base of the bell tower. Regarding the interior spaces, note the remains of what appears to be an ancient spiral staircase, now no longer accessible (truly peculiar). Aside from an exposed and dangling electrical wire (as shown in the attached photo 📸 📎), I also noticed a pair of flags (Italian 🇮🇹 and Vatican 🇻🇦) on either side of the altar (an unusual detail). I would suggest supplementing the explanatory panel 🪧 already present at the entrance 🚪 with an additional support, perhaps detailing the history 📜 and architectural features 📏 📐 of the complex.

La struttura, elegante e perfettamente inserita nel contesto urbanistico circostante, si trova in pieno centro affacciata sulla strada principale che attraversa l'abitato.

Giunti in loco verso le 16.30 🕟, abbiamo fatto dapprima un giro all'esterno per spostarci quindi all'interno dell'edificio. Gradevole la facciata, semplice e sobria nelle sue linee essenziali. Caratteristico il campanile, realizzato con mattoni 🧱 di color grigio scuro che contrastano visibilmente con l'intonaco bianco ⚪ della chiesa ⛪; alla base dello stesso sono state collocate un paio di panchine.

(Translated by Google) Place of worship dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, well maintained. Clean and with flower pots to make everything a pleasant sight (Original) Luogo di culto dedicata a San Giovanni Battista tenuta bene.

(Translated by Google) A very welcoming 18th-century church, beautiful both architecturally and internally. Inside, there are several very detailed frescoes and a statue of Saint Dominic. The only downside is the bells, which create excessive noise pollution at all hours of the day. They ring twice, all day and night, and even on the half-hour. This may be a historical tradition, but nowadays it's out of context and hard to understand. In addition, at 6 a.m., three bells ring to signal morning prayer. And no, you never get used to that. Amen. (Original) Chiesa del 1700 molto accogliente, bella sia esternamente a livello architettonico sia internamente. All’interno ci sono diversi affreschi molto dettagliati e una statua di San Domenico. La nota dolente sono le campane, che creano un inquinamento acustico esagerato ad ogni ora del giorno. Suonano l’orario due volte, tutto il giorno anche di notte, e pure la mezz’ora, potrà essere anche una tradizione storica ma al giorno d’oggi è fuori contesto e poco comprensibile. In aggiunta alle 6 del mattino ci sono i rintocchi a tre campane per segnalare la preghiera del mattino. E no, non ci si abitua. Amen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful little church, too bad that when I went it was all dark and you couldn't admire it well except with the slight light of your cell phone. (Original) Bella chiesetta, peccato che quando sono andato era tutto buio e, non si riusciva ad ammirarla bene, se non con la leggera luce del cellulare.

(Translated by Google) Pretty and well kept. (Original) Carina e ben tenuta.

I loved this mountain walk. It is quite well signed so the route is easy to follow and there are few viewpoints with spectacular views. At the end of the route, it is possible to return to the departure point by entering the old road & Tibetan bridge route (for which you need to pay a ticket of 3€ + 3€ if you want to do the bridge) or to go back through the current road. Would recommend it to everyone in the area! IG @being.nuria

Barcis is a beautiful lake..to visit... it's arounded with trees..and has awesome view..

That was an amazing place with an incredible experience after)

Great walk for the family! We went with a 5 year old, who walked the whole way happily and a 2 year old in a back carrier. I thought it was well signposted, there are a couple of times when you may think you are not sure which way to go, but it is pretty obvious, just keep to the wider paths (sometimes there are little trails veering off, but you can see they are not the right ones to follow) It took us an hour and a half to complete the entire walk, it is definitely worth walking to the 3rd viewpoint, it is the best one. To start the walk, you park near the restaurant by Ponte Antoi, we asked permission to park at the actual restaurant and then had coffees after. The walk starts about 1 minute walk, when you pass the restaurant on your left.

That was the prettiest water Thr views were so nice

Mesmering beauty of nature. Serene and calm. It's an unforgettable experience.

Nice path with amazing views!

Great tiramisu and good service. English is in this part bit forgotten but you will probably get what you want. Also meals are served only in certain times a day.

A very nice stop while walking around Lake Barcis. Decent view of the lake and surrounding mountains. We had a selection of meats and cheeses that was excellent. They serve local wine and beer. A little on the pricey side, but overall very satisfied.

Great views decent cakes and pies. The ride here was scary, but worth it. Highly recomended for the view. Bathrooms are just a hole. If you want to sit down. Use the handicap one. Cheap wines!

A fantastic spot with a beautiful view and truly delicious food. Everything we tried was excellent, but the desserts deserve a special mention — absolutely outstanding

Busy weekend spot for all the local visitors and tourists. Bikers seems to love this place both motor bike and cyclists alike. I can see why. The venue is very nice and the food is great. The service is kind and on task. They keep a fast pace to keep up with the many hungry people coming in from what I saw. Dining alone I got a window seat in the back side of main room right away. I got my food ordered and had it out in 15 minutes pronto. The dishes fly out of the kitchen non stop and wow they look good! Portions good, food great, prices fair, fast service. A must stop spot for lake view dining and good drinks after taking in the sites or hitting a long ride.

If you are visiting the lake at Lago Di Barcis, then don't pass up this amazing little restaurant right off the lake and next to the visitor center. Amazing food with quick service, it's a win-win. After or before the tour of the lake, you can't go wrong. Treat yourself to something tasty and grab a souvenir on the way out!

The place is beautiful and strategic. But the service is terrible. They need to improve the training of waitress. We, and other tables, waited very long to get attention, and the restaurant was not even full. Also, the kitchen closes quite soon for a weekend place. I would reccomend other places to have lunch in Barcis instead of this place.

I was invited for lunch there by a local. When I entered the restaurant at first glance I thought it would be costy because it was elegant and with a terrace on the lake. On contrary the menu has reasonable prices and rations are abundant. Good choice of dishes, some made with local products. Mainly meat-oriented, but also a vegetarian as I am can find some proper options. I will gladly go back there when I'm in Barcis.

Beautiful hotel with beautiful people and a great view

Magical place, lovely crew and great breakfast. If your aim is to spend lovely time near the mountains and by the lake, this is your place to go!

Very nice, quite place eventhough the owners don't speak English. Very good kitchen although breakfasts are tipical italian style (croissant, yoghurt and coffe). Beautiful small town with a great view. Good place to stay for a few days with family.

The food is not home made, I had a steak but it was served burnt. Desserts very bad. The view on the lake is nice.

I've only been at "Hotel Celis" to enjoy its amazing restaurant. The food is divine, the service excellent and you enjoy a wonderful sight from the wide windows all around.

Restaurant was very good. Food was nice and at a good price, many seats had a great view of the lake

Absolutely amazing. The food, wine and their service were all excellent. We drove an extra hour out of our way to come to this place and were not disappointed. We had some beautiful local cheeses with a lovely description given. Wild boar pasta and a venison stew. Short walk to a pretty grotto also as an additional bonus. Thank you for a wonderful experience here.

We had dinner, it was a beautiful location and the service was simply excellent. The food was superlative.

Came here when visiting the Fruili Dolomites. The restaurant was cozy, the staff was amazing and the language barrier strangely made the experience even better and more fun. We had the papardelle with wild boar, and the ribs as a main dish. Both were very good, and the dessert we had, chocolate cake with a (I think) raspberry sauce and whipped cream was even better. Definitely recommend.

Amazing place to eat some local deliciousness! Right in the middle of the wood with a breathtaking view! The food was of really high quality and everything was outstanding, we tried many different dishes and couldn't find any that wasn't good. If you visit Lake Barcis you can't miss out this incredible gem!!

Great food inside a great environment. Very typical food "Made in Friuli", every dish tasty and a very good service. Complete wine selection.

Excellent service and excellent taste, all dishes seem quite simple at first sight, until you try. Delicious 👌🏻

Unique location, magical ambience, lovely friendly staff, interesting menu, delicious dishes catering to vegetarians too. A special place for special occasions.
