La cascata del Pissoton

This simple yet evocative walk begins at the Remuglia bridge, near the entrance of Via Colli di Murle, which leads to Feltre. You start by walking along the unpaved white road that runs alongside the left bank of the Remuglia stream and leads into the woods.

After just a few minutes of walking, having passed private homes, you will notice on the right some enclosures that, starting from the spring period, host various farm animals and the noisy yet friendly goats, which are often left free to greet visitors.

You continue along the route by following the wide road that runs parallel to the stream, observing, on the left and beyond the bank, the numerous bright yellow primroses that color and enliven this pleasant place during the spring months, interspersed with carpets of light violet grass. You begin to enter the woods, and at the first junction you encounter, you keep to the left, following the white and blue signage.

After about ten minutes from the start of the walk, the path takes us to ford the Remuglia stream to cross to its right bank; the water level at this point is never excessively high, and you can help yourself in the crossing by taking advantage of the temporary passage created with stones of various sizes and wooden logs.

You continue along the flat main road, which gradually becomes narrower, eventually turning into a path. This path, zig-zagging along the slope of the woods, leads us uphill (all the modest elevation gain of the walk occurs here). Still in the spring period, we can observe numerous and pure white anemones and vibrant cinquefoils dotting our path. You continue to walk for a few more minutes along the now flat path until you finally arrive at the enchanting and mesmerizing waterfall of Pissoton.

DEEPENING ON…The waterfall of Pissoton

The Colmeda, a stream on whose banks the town of Pedavena rises with a dispersed layout, is the collector of the watershed of the Lamen Valley and receives the tributaries Porcilla and Remuglia. The Remuglia stream, which characterizes this last section of our guide, originates under the Col di S’ciesa, in the territory of Vignui, and then quickly descends, forming the beautiful waterfall of Pissoton in its short course. It is difficult to describe the awe derived from observing the shapes taken and the evolutions performed by the waterfall water as it makes a drop of almost fifteen meters. In this regard, it is interesting to note how in the old dialect, now obsolete, the term pis also meant waterfall, and thus the name pissoton could only be given to a large waterfall.
