물의 색깔을 위해

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.

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.

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 .

Beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, which at times seem like a setting given how defined they are. An excellent break to sunbathe
