    Hiking

    The Ice Hole ('Busa del Giàso' in Venetian dialect) is a deep natural cavity of karst origin, permanently frozen inside: for this reason, during the First World War, the Slovenians of the 17th regiment of the Austro-Hungarian army, stationed here, used it as a warehouse to store food supplies, sheltered from enemy fire. The initial part of the steep staircase dug into the rock to descend has survived, but then it abruptly stops: the cave can only be entered if equipped as a speleologist!

    The karst cave was used to store provisions for soldiers during the Great War. The inhabitants of the plateau also used its ice for food preservation.
