피에베 디 카도레‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 폭포

an extremely rewarding path but one that requires attention and caution

In a short time and with some exciting passages you reach a gem: the Cascata delle Pile.

Trail taken today, 10/12/2024 after days of rain. It cannot be said that the trail is disused in my opinion. It is still an equipped trail that goes into a narrow gorge, along a stream, so caution is required. There are pieces of cord and metal brackets at critical points and a small wooden bridge; you have to be very careful, as the rocks are worn by erosion and very slippery and there may be debris carried by the water that clutters the path. After the rains the stream also swells... but you can get there with due caution That said: the Pile waterfall, spectacular and 25 meters high, consists of a gorge carved out over time by the Oten stream, which originates in the Antelao glaciers and flows into the Centro Cadore lake.

Today's route, 10/12/24. The path is not disused. It is still an equipped path that winds through a narrow gorge. There are pieces of metal cord and brackets at critical points and you need to be careful, especially after heavy rains as the rocks are very slippery and the stream becomes a bit impetuous

Easily accessible from Borja di Cadore, the Ru de Assola waterfall is very suggestive and fascinating. The waterfall rises at an altitude of about 1,100 meters and the water in a few meters travels a nice negative difference in height. At the foot of the same there are benches and picnic tables.

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.

Beautiful waterfall just a few minutes walk from the Rifugio Capanna degli Alpini. It is approached via the Tabacchi equipped path, now largely abandoned and which must be followed carefully.

Short path, now in a state of disuse, which allows you to approach the beautiful Pile waterfall. It can be followed without particular difficulties but you need to be very careful as the structures placed to assist progression have in fact been abandoned.
