Very characteristic this monument dedicated to the cyclist with a beautiful dedication on a plaque.

Small artificial lake, formed by an earth dam, located near Fratte. Created by Enel after the Second World War, the lake serves as a balancing reservoir for the Caneva power plant, also receiving water from the gallery that comes from the Carron divider.

Spectacular view of the plain, the Belluno valley, and the Dolomites! Unfortunately, too many antennas spoil the natural spectacle!

Il Ristoro Crosetta, located at an altitude of 1,118 meters on the homonymous pass that connects the Treviso plain to the Cansiglio plateau, is a historic and unmissable stop for hikers, cyclists, and motorcyclists. This cozy stone and wood structure embodies the quintessence of mountain hospitality, offering a regenerating refuge in every season. The cuisine offers the authentic flavors of the Veneto-Belluno tradition, featuring game dishes, typical Cansiglio cheeses, warm polenta, and fresh mushrooms, all accompanied by homemade desserts and a good glass of local wine. Nestled in a centuries-old beech and fir forest, the establishment boasts a strategic position that makes it the ideal starting point or refreshment stop for exploring the numerous surrounding nature trails, offering an old-world atmosphere for relaxation and good food.

Polcenigo, nestled between the springs of the Livenza river and the foothills of the Carnic Prealps, is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Its historic center is an elegant network of stately palaces in Venetian style, testifying to the prestige of the noble Polcenigo family. Walking through the alleys, you discover a timeless atmosphere, dominated by the remains of the medieval castle that watches over the village from the top of the hill. The beating heart is Piazza Plebiscito, but the greatest charm lies in the symbiotic relationship with water: canals, old mills, and small bridges create picturesque views. Not far away, the Gorgazzo and Santissima springs offer waters of an almost unreal turquoise blue, making the village a fundamental stop for those seeking historical beauty and nature.

Pordenone foothills itinerary: St. Christopher's Way

On May 25, 1964, a fire completely destroyed the first and second floors, rendering them unusable. The efforts of firefighters and artillerymen who rushed to the scene in force managed to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to the nearby building. Despite the negative opinion of the Military Engineering Corps regarding restoration work, public opinion and the Belluno CAI Section pushed for yet another reconstruction, finding valid support in Gen. Pietro Torrazzo. This recommenced under the supervision of the 6th Mountain Artillery Regiment of Belluno. The inauguration ceremony was held on August 31, 1968. The seventies still saw the race to "conquer" a spot for television antennas, both military and civilian. The most imposing one, belonging to RAI, was placed a few meters from the refuge, on the north side, and is still there today. A new period of closure and management uncertainties followed. In 1988, the COMILITER of Padua decided on its renovation, which concluded in 1992. In 1993, the State Technical Office proposed a rental fee, and on May 1, 1994, after five years, the refuge reopened under new management. In 1995, the agreement, still in force, was signed. Today, this place represents an act of gratitude for the survival of a heritage entirely belonging to Belluno.
