THE ROUTE OF THE SPRINGS

97

The route winds its way through the area of the

Santissima springs, up towards the foothills

of Coltura and then on to the historic centre

of Polcenigo. It starts from the car park near

the Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity (1), continues

along the stretch of paved road to the

“Madonna degli Occhi” capital (2) dedicated

to Our Lady of Eyes erected on a spring with

properties considered to be curative, and

continues up to the springs of the Livenza

River (3). The springs, together with the “Palù

di Livenza” biotope (4), are areas of high

environmental value and wetlands that are still

well maintained.

The tour continues with a small detour to the

left, skirting the Livenza River in a loop route

as far as the wooden bridge in front of the

Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity, and leaving the

area of the UNESCO pile-dwelling site “Palù

di Livenza “(5) on the right. Continue along via

S. Francesco until you come to Saint Francis’

Church (6). Cross the foothill road and continue

up a steep uphill until you come to a clear

deviation on the right, on a track that is no

longer paved. The dirt track ends in via Saint

Michele where, crossing the centre of Coltura,

you arrive at the Gorgazzo Stream, leading to

the capital of the Immaculate Conception (7).

Turn left on the footpath to reach the Gorgazzo

spring (8), “a portion of liquid sky with turquoise

waters”. Return to the paved road and continue

towards the square of Polcenigo, crossing

the foothill road again. Continuing along Via

Polcenigo, you arrive at the capital dedicated

to Our Lady (9), at the intersection with Via

Col Belit. Just before the centre, you can see

the deviation that leads to Budoia along the

suggestive nature trail of the “Gor” (10).

At this point you arrive in the historic centre

of Polcenigo (11), a municipality included in

the list of the “most beautiful villages in Italy”,

where you can admire the Convent of Saint

James (12), the Church of All Saints (13) and

the Castle (14). Continue along the pedestrian

road that runs along the Gorgazzo Stream until

you reach the Bridge of the Alpini. Here you

have two options. The first is to continue along

the historic route, turning right on the Bridge

of the Alpini and walking left along Via Saint

Rocco, until you reach Saint Rocco’s Church

(15), then continue towards Longone until you

reach the Livenza Bridge. The second option

is the nature trail, which crosses the stream

“Rui de Brosa” by means of the footbridge,

allowing you to walk along the left bank of the

Gorgazzo River, sheltered by the tree canopy

that continues to the foot of the San Floriano

hill. From here, turn right onto the Gorgazzo

Bridge to rejoin the paved road; on the left is

the capital of the Piety (16). Next, cross the

Livenza village and continue until you return to

the starting point.
