Resiutta Ice Cellar Tunnel

It is a small cave to see little out of Alpe Adria cycleway. Entry fee is 1€. It can be nice way to cool down if it is hot outside. Everything is written only in Italian. It is about mining history.

A small grotto, worth the detour

A pleasant journey back in time: "Mostra Miniera del Resartico" (Resiutta Mining Exhibition).
In 1844, Carinthian entrepreneurs began producing beer in Resiutta, which was then part of the Habsburg Monarchy, using the excellent water of the Resia River. A tunnel was dug for this purpose, which served as a storage and cooling room for the beer.
By 1900, the resources of the icehouse were no longer used, and the icehouse remained empty. In recent years, the tunnel was rediscovered. Restoration and research work now allow visitors to retrace the course of history and visit this special place. The tunnel itself features information panels that illustrate the history of this place and beer brewing in Resiutta.
