Fontane Bianche Oasis

These springs and clear waters are home to a species unique in the world: the marble trout. It is one of the most important naturalistic areas of the Piave River, located in Fontigo, near Farra di Soligo, and is a naturalistic area between the fluvial terrace and the bed of the Piave River.

In this area, the waters of the aquifer of the Piave plain come to the surface and flow continuously throughout the year. These waters are clear and the area is rich in vegetation. Many different species live in this oasis, as well as the numerous springs that make this naturalistic environment a real refuge for these animals.

The name "White Fountains" is due to the clarity of the water in this oasis, which can also be visited with the help of a guide: the Municipality of Sernaglia has tried to increase the scientific knowledge of this area by rehabilitating it, creating interesting trails for both families and nature lovers.

The path that goes into the Fontane Bianche oasis is notably frequented by schoolchildren and visitors looking for a bit of tranquility. For this reason, the path has a constantly renewed and strengthened path. The path winds for 4.5 km and can be covered in 1.5 h. It is a quiet route suitable for everyone, with a maximum difference in height of 50 meters.

The path is designed to provide for small detours to admire the naturalistic corners and enjoy the chirping of birds, while numerous wooden walkways across the river. You can access the Observatory with a tower for bird watching among black poplars and English oak, and the Volpere Peninsula, a peninsula that represents the most characteristic and suggestive corner of the Oasis, ideal for admiring the clear waters and the pebbly shore of the creek enjoying, sitting on the benches, all the sounds of nature.

Continuing along the well-indicated path, you reach the Golden Wood with tables and benches for school groups ideal for a rest and a picnic, and finally, a small maze of hedges where you can play.

Fontane Bianche is a sort of open-air laboratory, of great ecological importance and for the requalification of habitats. But it is also the ideal place for a family walk, immersed in the purest, uncontaminated, and at the same time delicate nature, to be protected as a very precious treasure.
