The Cansiglio is a pre-Alpine plateau located 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 Vicentino plateau, which settled here due to the plentiful beech woods, a plant species suitable for artisanal work.
Currently, the villages of Campon and Pian Osteria are inhabited by the Cimbri, 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 daily from June 15 to September 15 and can be visited by reservation also during other periods of the year. Among the sections, the first is dedicated to wood processing; the second is dedicated to the artisanal activities of the Cimbri; the third is dedicated to the library and the screening of videos about Cansiglio and Cimbrian culture, its history, and its legends. Finally, good cuisine: the restaurants of Cansiglio also offer Cimbrian recipes handed down through generations.
