Lower Lake (Lago Inferiore), Fusine

Highlight • Lake

• Before modern refrigerators were invented, the frozen, perfectly clean and thick surface of Jezioro Dolne was cut by workers into large blocks of ice during winter. They were packed into special, straw-insulated railway wagons at the nearby station and transported down to Udine and Trieste, where they were used to cool food and beer in luxury breweries.

Lower Fusine Lake Trail

Highlight • Trail

From Tarvisio, first past the two beautiful lakes. However, the first tourists were already being unloaded from buses there at 8:00 AM.
