The Caglieron Caves are located in Breda di Fregona (TV). The complex consists of a series of cavities, part of artificial origin and part of natural origin. The natural part is represented by a deep gorge carved by the Caglieron stream on alternating layers of limestone conglomerate, sandstone and marl. There are numerous waterfalls, several meters high, with large potholes at the base. In the deepest part there are large calcareous concretions that close in vault, giving the whole the appearance of a cave. On the walls there are large artificial cavities, obtained from the extraction of sandstone, the typical "piera dolza" (soft stone). The mining activity, which dates back to 1500, provided the material for the construction of jambs, architraves, etc., which can still be seen on the old houses and palaces of Vittorio Veneto and its surroundings. The extraction method used is interesting: the detachment of the material, caused by large chisels that have left visible marks, took place in blocks, with the warning to leave inclined columns to support the vault.

The beginning of the equipped path is located in via Ronzon, shortly after the Visitor Center; through a pedestrian walkway that crosses the stream you descend on a wide path, passing under the provincial bridge. On the right opens the large Grotta dei Breda, characterized by columns inclined at 45 ° that support the layers of sandstone forming the ceiling. A little further on, on the left, another walkway leads to the Grotta di San Lucio, used for the aging of the cheese by the Agricansiglio dairy. Retracing your steps, you will come across a bow-shaped belvedere, from which you can admire the splendid gorge. In the most illuminated areas the presence of travertine is remarkable, with alternating mosses and other plant residues. At the end of the aided path you reach an ancient mill used as a restaurant (Alle Grotte - Da Nereo).
