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. In this area, there is an ethnic settlement of Cimbri 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 artisanal work.
Currently, the villages of Campon and Pian Osteria are inhabited by 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 Museum and the Cimbrian culture; it is open every day from June 15 to September 15, and it is possible to visit it by reservation even during other times of the year. Among the sections, the first is dedicated to woodworking; the second is dedicated to the artisanal activities of the Cimbri; the third is dedicated to the library and the screening of videos on 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.<\/p>\n
