THE LAKE ROUTE
37
The Cavazzo Lake, also known as the lake of
the ‘Three Municipalities’, is the largest natural
lake of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The lake, of glacial
origin, has a maximum depth of approximately
Monte
San Simeone
40 m and is located at 195 m a.s.l. at the foot
1505 m
of Mount Festa and Mount San Simeone. It
is located below the level of the Tagliamento
River, which flows at about 3 km to the east.
The lake is fed both artificially and by natural
underground springs, which are real craters up
to 2 metres wide.
The part of the lake route involving the
municipalities of Cavazzo Carnico and Bordano
is approximately 6 km long and for its entire
length is mostly flat, with variable lane widths,
crossing artificial bridges built on the lake and
following paths surrounded by greenery.
The lake ring is suitable for various sports
and leisure activities, such as running, nordic
walking and group walks. Besides land sports,
the lake also offers the opportunity to practise
water sports such as swimming, canoeing and
windsurfing.
Along the route, it is also possible to stop at
the rest areas equipped to offer visitors a
comfortable place to eat and rest surrounded
by a wonderful view and the sounds of the lake
wildlife. For a unique cultural experience, visit
the museum located on the lake bank in the
Bordano area. The museum building is only a
short way south from the route starting point.
In summer, it offers visitors special events
to explore the historical elements that
characterised the Val del Lago area.
Note for visitors: the route does not finish
at the borders of the Cavazzo Carnico and
Bordano municipalities, but continues for the
entire length of the lake in the municipality of
Trasaghis.
It is therefore possible to complete the ring by
following the existing route indicated in the
map with a black dotted line.
The route develops partly on tracks and partly
on a traffic road. In this area you can find various
refreshment points, a hotel, a camping site and
the A.S.D. Nautilago sports association.
