      To admire this curious phenomenon, a detour from the main road is necessary. Once you reach the place, just look out into the well (with a diameter of about 50 cm) from which what is sometimes called "dragon's breath" seems to emerge from. It is nothing more than a karst cavity (characteristic of the Faedo-Casaron plateau) from which fresh air comes out (which varies between 7 and 13 degrees).

      Especially in the summer period, the typical rustle of the exchange of hot and cold air masses at the mouth of the cave is clearly audible. The cavity, commonly called "Buso del Lucio", was discovered by the Maladense speleologist Lucio Zanini.

      The valley that you travel along following the Campipiani-Faedo path is called “Valle dei Vischi”. The origin of this name is not known but it probably refers to the sound effects (breathing, hissing, moaning) that the blowing caves produce in particular climatic conditions.
