Today I will take you to the Senaiga dam in the municipality of Lamon, to go around the artificial lake. Someone has compared it to a Norwegian fjord due to the very steep banks and very white rock walls that hang over the lake. We are on the slopes of Lagorai, right at the entrance to Val Cismon and more precisely in Ponte Serra. Here, at the roundabout, head towards Lamon, the village of beans, and leave your car immediately after the first hairpin bend, in a widening of the road. Return to the hairpin bend from where the wide dirt road starts and enters the woods.

You can see that spring has arrived here too at an altitude of 400 metres, the meadows have new grass dotted with violets and other flowers, while the first shoots are growing on the branches of the trees. A tunnel leads to the dam which is about 60 meters high. One imagines a smooth part, but next to it there are concrete spirals similar to gigantic slides to bring the waters to safety.

You enter a very narrow gorge with high white walls overlooking the water. Still following the road, you pass the dam and with tunnels you climb up to almost 800 meters above sea level. You come across various refuges, some very beautiful, without the tourist excesses typical of the Dolomite valleys. There are also some capitals which, although the area may seem remote, are all adorned with fresh flowers. The stone fountain is wonderful with the capital dedicated to the Madonna decorated with splendid orchids.

We arrive up to about 760 meters above sea level and in one of these huts we consume the meringues of the Cri, a show, both the meringues and the panorama. You always descend on a natural balcony almost overhanging the lake, which in truth is rarely seen due to the dense forest almost entirely of beech. The dry leaves that have slipped down the steep slope cover the path and this tickles our imagination. Let’s go back to being children and compete to see who can do the best silly thing, you’re never too old to have fun!
(Let see the movie)

You arrive at the metal footbridge at the intersection of two branches of the lake. Someone passes by quickly pretending not to hear the rocking of the bridge, which is actually very limited. Cross the other bank and arrive at the Piei hamlet. Last stupidity: I say hello to Oscar who is going down the main road on a Vespa. He stops and confabulates with our rearguard amazed by the fact that I greeted him, but above all because he doesn’t know me! He had his name written on the front of the Vespa! Will he be the owner of the strange museum? Now all paved road up to the car. 11 km and 400 meters in altitude. Nice day!

Sei uno spasso. Molto curioso il “museo”… di tutto un pó… Bellissimo il video, l’ho fatto girare due volte per godermi meglio il panorama 
Per le foto io proprio non so scegliere, diciamo che quella delle ombre sulla passerella ha attratto un pĂł in piĂą la mia attenzione per la sua particolaritĂ , sembra un graffito
