The Cansiglio is a pre-Alpine plateau between the provinces of Belluno, Treviso, and Pordenone. With its characteristic basin shape, it is a true paradise for hiking due to its forest, which is the second largest in Italy. This area is home to a Cimbrian ethnic settlement dating back to the early 1800s.
Of German origin, this population comes from Roana, one of the seven municipalities of the Vicentine plateau, which settled here due to the rich beech forests, a plant species suitable for craftsmanship.
Currently, the villages inhabited by the Cimbri are Campon and Pian Osteria, while traces of some typical constructions remain in Le Rotte, Vallorch, I Pich, Pian Canaie, Canaie, Pian dei Lovi, and Valbona. The historic building of Pian Osteria houses the Ethnographic and Cimbrian Culture Museum; it is open every day from June 15 to September 15 and can also be visited by reservation during other times of the year. Among the sections, the first is dedicated to woodworking; the second is dedicated to the Cimbri's craftsmanship activities; the third is dedicated to the library and the screening of videos about Cansiglio and Cimbrian culture, its history, and its legends. Finally, the good table: the restaurants of Cansiglio also offer Cimbrian recipes passed down through generations.
