コルディニャーノの湖・トップ11

水の色のために

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.

I found this place perfect for a break and to enjoy the view it offers; there are benches with tables perfect for a totally relaxed lunch. Today there was a cool breeze, with the sun it was great.

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

So called because it has no tributaries and emissaries, Dead Lake is an intravalley lake formed through landslide accumulations that occurred at the end of the ice age. With its 55 m depth, and a reservoir of approximately 20 million square meters of water, it is the largest of the three lakes in the municipality of Vittorio Veneto. It is fed by underground infiltrations that come from Lake Santa Croce and by karst springs from the right side of Col Visentin. Like the underlying Restello and Negrisiola, arranged in succession, these semi-artificial basins were "built" on ancient basins left by the glacier that descended from the Lapisina Valley and in which mirrors of lake water had taken place. In fact, Val Lapisina is what remains of the branch of an ancient glacier that followed the current course of the Piave. The branch, in turn, divided, forming on one side what is today the Valley and on the other the morainic amphitheater located between Vittorio Veneto and Conegliano.

Lake Restello (or San Floriano) is one of three bodies of water in the Lapisina Valley. These artificial lakes, arranged in succession, were "built" on ancient glacial basins that once formed lake basins. The three lakes are located at different elevations: Lago Morto, further north, at 274 meters above sea level; Lago del Restello at 177 meters above sea level; and, finally, Lago di Negrisiola at 160 meters above sea level. This difference in elevation allows for exploitation for energy purposes, a process that begins at Lago di S. Croce, via underground infiltration, and ends in the Vittoria alluvial plain. Lago del Restello, in particular, was created by damming the rocky strait of San Floriano, and occupies the depression of an old lake reclaimed during the last century. It is fed by wastewater from the Nove power plant and by springs in the valley floor located in Botteon and Lagusel. The water, used to power the plant's hydroelectric turbines, feeds Lake Negrisiola. On the shores of this basin stand the San Floriano tower, the church of the same name, and the A27 motorway viaduct. The name refers to the restelli di sanità, barriers established by the Republic of Venice to prevent the spread of epidemics by controlling traffic.

A particularly great area. It rolled well on this section.

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 .
