Natural Spring
About 1 km from Polcenigo is the Sorgente del Gorgazzo, a natural spring that creates a wonderful lake with crystal clear waters: the enchanting view and the quiet and relaxing atmosphere will leave you breathless. The Gorgazzo cave is one of the deepest resurgences ever explored in the world: at the mouth of the cavity, about 9 meters deep, there is a statue of a Christ, which thanks to the clarity of the waters is perfectly visible to tourists walking near the lake.
Every year during the Christmas holidays, the statue of Christ is cleaned and a floating nativity scene is set up on the pond. On the night of Christmas Eve, Holy Mass is celebrated and after the reading of the diver’s prayer, a votive chaplet is laid.
From the source, the Gorgazzo stream heads towards the center of Polcenigo which it reaches after about 2 km: in the village it gives life to a series of small but characteristic waterfalls, and then continues for about 1.5 km until it flows into the Livenza river.
For those visiting Polcenigo, a walk up to Gorgazzo is absolutely recommended!
The Magic of the Gorgazzo spring
The waters of the Gorgazzo spring in Polcenigo are famous for their extraordinary clarity and turquoise reflections that seem almost surreal. This karst spring, located at the foot of the Prealps, is fed by a complex system of underwater caves that give the water an exceptional purity. Visually immersing yourself in this body of water is like entering an enchanted world, where nature shows one of its most fascinating manifestations. The play of light and shadow creates an almost mystical atmosphere, making the Gorgazzo an ideal place for those seeking tranquility and inspiration.
