Yes, not so much for the small lake, just a few centimetres deep and increasingly narrow, but for the nearby, very beautiful and spectacular waterfalls, and of course also for the surrounding environment.

The Bosconero waterfall is a hidden and suggestive corner of the Zoldo Dolomites, nestled between the peaks of the Bosconero Group. The route to reach the waterfall is a pleasant hike that passes through coniferous forests and wild landscapes, offering unique views and uncontaminated nature. The waterfall, high and scenic, plunges between the rocks creating plays of light and crystalline reflections, perfect for photography and trekking lovers.

Trail taken today, 10/12/2024 after days of rain. It cannot be said that the trail is disused in my opinion. It is still an equipped trail that goes into a narrow gorge, along a stream, so caution is required. There are pieces of cord and metal brackets at critical points and a small wooden bridge; you have to be very careful, as the rocks are worn by erosion and very slippery and there may be debris carried by the water that clutters the path. After the rains the stream also swells... but you can get there with due caution That said: the Pile waterfall, spectacular and 25 meters high, consists of a gorge carved out over time by the Oten stream, which originates in the Antelao glaciers and flows into the Centro Cadore lake.

Lago delle Tose is a small body of water known since Roman times for the thermal characteristics and benefits of its waters. It is located in Lagole, an area of considerable archaeological and naturalistic interest near Lago di Centro Cadore. The water that flows between the rocks of the clearing forms streams and waterfalls that culminate in a natural pool. This entire area was part of a religious complex linked to the cult of mineral waters, already frequented in Roman times to perform the abduction of the body. In some places, in addition to the ferruginous color, it is also possible to smell the typical smell of sulfur. A little further south are the Lagole springs, small pools from which water with beneficial properties flows. In the Venetian dialect "tose" means "girls". But the legend from which this small and precious lake takes its name is anything but happy. It is said that a long time ago the girls of the place immersed themselves in its waters to preserve eternal youth. Their beauty aroused the envy of the Anguane, creatures similar to a nymph. One day the Anguane witches attacked the girls while their men were hunting. They beat them to death, including the beautiful Bianca, daughter of the village chief. When the men realized what had happened, they decided in desperation to carry the bodies to the mountain. The God of the lake, as a sign of compassion for the "tose", transformed every drop of blood that fell to the ground into small pink and fragrant flowers, then turned the men into stone so that no one could disturb Bianca's sleep. The Anguane took refuge in the caves but could not escape the vengeance of the God, who poisoned the water, killing them. The valley fell into an unreal silence and an instant later the water regained its beneficial powers.
