The region consists of approx. 43% mountain area, 38% plains and 19% undulating countryside. The mountains in the north are more than 2000 m high.
Three big rivers run through the region: Tagliamento, Isonzo and Livenza. Even though unlike most other Italian regions Friuli has few Nature Reserves, it still offers plenty of scope for experiencing nature, especially in the woods around the town of Ampezzo.
Foce dell'Isonzo is a beautiful Nature Reserve with a very varied flora and fauna.
