The Gorgazzo springs have the characteristic of collecting rainwater which, infiltrating the karst structure of the Cansiglio plateau, emerges at the base of the mountain with an already considerable flow rate.

A magical place, with an incredible scientific history. Always worth a stop.

The name probably derives from "lume" or flame, due to the luminescence that would have been seen on summer nights above the cavity, produced by the gases generated by the putrefaction of animal carcasses thrown into the well. The cavity was formed by karst, or by the dissolution of the rock by water. According to legend, it is inhabited by the Anguane, very ugly fairies, with nails instead of hair, and long fangs instead of teeth. During the day they went to wash clothes at Lake Santa Croce, then wandered around in search of wood, food and children to roast. At night, they lit a small fire, whose light, spotted by shepherds, gives the cavity its name

The Caglieron caves are located in the municipality of Fregona, province of Treviso, precisely in the locality of Breda. It is a series of cavities created partly by natural erosion and partly by human action.

The Gorgazzo source is an underwater cave where the stream of the same name originates, a tributary of the Livenza river. Located near Polcenigo, its name derives from the Friulian gorc which means precisely abyss. The cave consists of a resurgence and near the mouth of the cavity, nine meters deep, the statue of a Christ was placed, which thanks to the clarity of the water and the bottom is visible from the outside from the shore on sunny days .
