Description
The name Lagole refers to the whole area downstream from the village of Calalzo, just below the railway station, but the places the locals know best for their natural beauty, mineral water springs, archaeological finds and the female figures, the faires, that are said to populate the area are those near the little Tose lake and the woodlands next to the artificial Centro Cadore lake. The numerous springs with water rich in sulfates, bicarbonates, calcium and magnesium, most of which are to be found in the clearing between the little Tose lake and the railway line, are still frequented today for their therapeutic properties, testified to by popular tradition and confirmed by clinical tests: the spring waters have excellent cicatrizing and diuretic properties. These thermal spa waters explain the presence of the votive sanctuary where people used to go to pray for help from the deity Tribusiatei or Trumusiatis, later Apollo, named in the numerous archaeological finds, mainly in bronze and dating to between the 4th century B.C. to the 5th century A.D.. Here you can see one of the little springs feeding the brook.

Sandra, this is another sensational addition to the series. I very much enjoyed reading about this historic area and all that it has to offer in the way of mineral Water Springs. This reminds me a lot of a place my grandmother described to me when I was a boy. When she was very ill they took her to this place so she could enjoy the natural springs healing properties

What a lovely scene. It looks like the water is bubbling up from somewhere. I do hope people are far away from the water when the "diuretic properties" take effect.
