The Bus del Buson, in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, is a deep dry gorge about 250 metres long carved by the water of the Ardo. The river stopped running in this course when it started running about 150 metres lower, but left the rocks smooth and polished.
A circular trail will guide you through this spectacular natural amphitheatre: you will enter a magical world, from some other time.
After Bus del Buson, keep going until you reach Pont de la Mortis suspended over another picturesque gorge, also crossed by the crystal-clear water of the Ardo Stream.
