ピエベ・ディ・カドーレの湖・トップ8

A beautiful, narrow path that requires surefootedness. It drops 200 meters, and you should also be free from vertigo.

Beautiful views throughout the hike

Lago delle Tose is a small body of water known since Roman times for the thermal characteristics and benefits of its waters. It is located in Lagole, an area of considerable archaeological and naturalistic interest near Lago di Centro Cadore. The water that flows between the rocks of the clearing forms streams and waterfalls that culminate in a natural pool. This entire area was part of a religious complex linked to the cult of mineral waters, already frequented in Roman times to perform the abduction of the body. In some places, in addition to the ferruginous color, it is also possible to smell the typical smell of sulfur. A little further south are the Lagole springs, small pools from which water with beneficial properties flows. In the Venetian dialect "tose" means "girls". But the legend from which this small and precious lake takes its name is anything but happy. It is said that a long time ago the girls of the place immersed themselves in its waters to preserve eternal youth. Their beauty aroused the envy of the Anguane, creatures similar to a nymph. One day the Anguane witches attacked the girls while their men were hunting. They beat them to death, including the beautiful Bianca, daughter of the village chief. When the men realized what had happened, they decided in desperation to carry the bodies to the mountain. The God of the lake, as a sign of compassion for the "tose", transformed every drop of blood that fell to the ground into small pink and fragrant flowers, then turned the men into stone so that no one could disturb Bianca's sleep. The Anguane took refuge in the caves but could not escape the vengeance of the God, who poisoned the water, killing them. The valley fell into an unreal silence and an instant later the water regained its beneficial powers.

The first half of the trail is a great hiking trail, but the closer you get to the lake, the more you need a head for heights and surefootedness. Unfortunately, even in the off-season, it is now quite crowded...

Beautiful "urban lake" near the town of San Vito di Cadore. There are kiosks and a restaurant with a terrace overlooking the pond. Plenty of space both in the sun and in the shade for picnics on the grass. Suitable both as a destination and as a stage.

Beautiful and not too difficult trail to Sorapis Lake. Good equipment, especially good shoes, is strongly recommended. A head for heights is also an advantage
