Those who enjoy typical Italian mountain villages will find what they're looking for up here. The functioning water station is particularly valuable for cyclists.

The relief called "Monte di Buia" rises in the high central Friuli plain, dominated by the chains of the Julian and Carnic Pre-Alps. It is the highest of the three hills that characterize the Buja area, and is in turn made up of three peaks called, from east to west, "Mont di Zoc" (322 m), "San Laurinz" (325 m), “San Bastian” (335m). The parish church of San Lorenzo is located on the homonymous hill, in the center of the system; on the eastern hill remain the remains of a medieval fort ("Cjscjelàt"), while on the western one the site of the castle can be identified, near which the demolished church of San Sebastiano once stood. A plateau extends to the west of the parish, occupied by the agglomeration of houses that make up the hamlet of "Monte". Monte di Buia appears as a "three-pointed" natural relief, with an east-west orientation. The oldest traces of a human settlement are located in the "Pidicuel" locality, a valley located between the southern slopes of the mountain and the Pravìz hill. Over the decades, hundreds of flint tools (tools, scrapers, scrapers, burins, blades, arrows...), ceramic fragments and building materials that refer to a prehistoric settlement have been recovered during agricultural work in this area. There is also news of further finds of similar lithic objects in the arable land near Buja.
