Tips from the Community
Lago di Vedana is a small, natural body of water located at the foot of Piz di Vedana, in a quiet and protected environment on the edge of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. Surrounded by woods and the typical masiere (stone terraces) of Val Cordevole, the lake offers a tranquil and secluded landscape, ideal for a short panoramic stop. Its waters are clear and calm, fed by underground springs and small seasonal outflows. The area is rich in aquatic fauna and birdlife, with very suggestive views towards the Certosa di Vedana, which is located nearby. Perfect place for: nature photography quiet moments observing the Dolomite landscape in a little-frequented area Simple, natural, and very characteristic environment, ideal as a point of interest along the routes of Sospirolo and Vedana.

Certosa di Vedana, founded in 1457 on the remains of the ancient medieval hospice of San Marco di Vedana, is one of the most evocative monastic complexes in the Belluno Dolomites. Located at an altitude of 430 m at the entrance to the Val Cordevole, it overlooks the characteristic 'masiere' (expanses of gravel and boulders) at the foot of Piz di Vedana, in a setting of absolute quiet and isolation, perfect for Carthusian life. The complex, enlarged and partly rebuilt after 1882, features the typical structure of a Carthusian monastery: a large cloister with the monks' cells, austere and secluded environments, and a more monumental church dedicated to St. Mark. According to tradition, some architectural elements – such as the grand staircase – were designed by Palladio. For centuries it was a place of welcome for pilgrims along the "route of the hospices". After various historical events, it today hosts a community of cloistered nuns. The complex cannot be visited internally, but the exterior and the surrounding landscape offer an atmosphere of great spirituality and silence.

Beautiful cycle/pedestrian path to follow in both directions. Perfect for avoiding asphalt and busy roads, it alternates gravel sections with very short sections on asphalt.
