Gran Bosco Fontanassi

Gravel bike or MTB

What are the "Fontanassi"? It is said that rainwater from the mountains and underground branches of the Piave River flow into the particularly permeable subsoil of this region, up to Casacorba. In this locality, characterized by a peat surface, these waters rise spontaneously from the subsoil, thus giving life to the river path of the Sile. The largest and oldest springs, those "dea coa longa" and of the priest ", are in an area of the park that can only be reached if equipped with footwear that allows you to walk, in the vast bush surrounding them on a soil composed mainly of" peat " ". To see them they look like large pools of water. By observing them better in these pools, one can glimpse; both on the bottom and on the side banks, bubbles of water that rise towards the surface and, in a very small space, give rise to the course of the Sile For most, who prefer a Sunday walk without particular difficulties, we recommend the path called "La Porta dell'Acqua" in Casacorba di Vedelago - Via Santa Brigida, which allows you to follow a fascinating stretch of the rising branches of the Sile; some spring springs are clearly visible.
