点评:Many years before visiting it (the first time I saw it in 2004), I had mention of this gorgeous valley at the time of preparing my master's degree: according to what I read in my sources, the woods of this valley, together with others, are “reserved” by the Republic of Venice, way back in 1580, for the public uses of the Republic itself. It's assumed that the Republic adopted this measure to use fir wood in the foundations of buildings in Venice (which notoriously required enormous quantities of poles) and in shipyards.
But then – I read as well in those years – the provision for Val Visdende was revoked. The reasons weren't specified; but after having visited the valley, I can assume that the main one was the difficulty of conveying the logs downstream, even with the sophisticated technique of the so-called "stue" (sort of temporary dams), adopted in the Venetian Alps.
In fact, this seems to me to be the salient characteristic of Val Visdende: it's an open territory, plateau or gentle slopes, surrounded by majestic peaks, which however can be reached after traveling along a steep road starting from the Piave valley floor, and following a dark and narrow gorge: which contrasts sharply with the pleasantness of the valley which is then reached. It's no coincidence that the place you come across at the end of the climb is called "Cima Canale" (i.e. top of the gorge).
In my last visit to the valley, I followed a short stretch of the route coming from "Malga Pra Marino" (1288 m; recently burned down and not yet rebuilt) to "Forcella Zovo" (1606 m). This walk offered us a taste of the winter landscapes of the valley, through dark coniferous forests, snow-covered meadows, houses and "malghe" (i.e. buildings occupied seasonally for summer grazing and dairy activities) in evocative solitude.
In the background, beautiful rock mountains, among which the pyramid of Mount Peralba (2694 m) stands out, at the foot of which the source of the Piave river gushes.
Unfortunately, we can still see the large gaps created in the woods by the "Vaia" hurricane, which at the end of October 2018 knocked down millions of trees throughout the north-eastern Alps. More than five years later, we have verified that the removal and reuse of fallen trees is still underway in Val Visdende.
翻译:在参观它之前很多年(我第一次看到它是在2004年),我在准备硕士学位时就曾提到过这个美丽的山谷:根据我在资料中读到的内容,这个山谷的树林以及其他山谷,早在 1580 年就被威尼斯共和国“保留”,供共和国本身的公共使用。据推测,共和国采取这一措施是为了在威尼斯建筑物的地基中使用杉木(众所周知,威尼斯需要大量的电线杆)和造船厂。
但后来——那些年我也读到过——Val Visdende 的规定被撤销了。没有具体说明原因;但在参观了山谷之后,我可以认为主要的问题是向下游输送原木的困难,即使采用了威尼斯阿尔卑斯山采用的所谓“stue”(一种临时水坝)的复杂技术。
事实上,在我看来,这就是Val Visdende的显着特征:它是一片开阔的土地、高原或平缓的斜坡,周围环绕着雄伟的山峰,但从皮亚韦谷底出发沿着陡峭的道路行驶即可到达,并且沿着黑暗而狭窄的峡谷前进:这与随后到达的山谷的宜人景色形成鲜明对比。攀登终点时遇到的地方被称为“Cima Canale”(即峡谷顶部),这并非巧合。
在我上次访问山谷时,我沿着从“Malga Pra Marino”(1288 m;最近被烧毁且尚未重建)到“Forcella Zovo”(1606 m)的一小段路线行驶。这次步行让我们领略了山谷的冬季景观,穿过黑暗的针叶林、白雪覆盖的草地、房屋和“malghe”(即季节性用于夏季放牧和乳制品活动的建筑物),在令人回味的孤独中。
背景是美丽的岩石山脉,其中佩拉尔巴山金字塔(2694 米)脱颖而出,皮亚韦河的源头在金字塔脚下喷涌而出。
不幸的是,我们仍然可以看到“瓦伊亚”飓风在树林中留下的巨大缺口,这场飓风于 2018 年 10 月底摧毁了整个阿尔卑斯山东北部的数百万棵树。五年多后,我们证实,Val Visdende 倒下树木的清除和再利用仍在进行中。
