The Lake of Busche, located in Busche in the municipality of Cesiomaggiore a few kilometers from Feltre, is one of the most fascinating places in Valbelluna for those who love nature, silence, and observing wildlife.
Originally created as an artificial basin for hydroelectric purposes, it now represents one of the most interesting wetlands in Veneto due to its ecological richness. The lake is indeed an important stopover for migratory birds, but it also hosts numerous resident species, becoming a reference point for birdwatchers, nature photographers, and biodiversity enthusiasts.
Among the observable species: the majestic mute swan, the coot, the great crested grebe, the discreet little grebe, the mallard, the gray heron, the cormorant, and the lively kingfisher.
The site is monitored by various naturalist associations, including LIPU, which enhance its ecological role and make it a high-quality tourist attraction, ideal for those seeking experiences in touch with nature in Veneto.
Here, there is a green area, equipped with benches, perfect for a relaxing break, educational activities, or simple moments of contemplation.
The lake is also frequented by enthusiasts of sport fishing, thanks to the presence of various fish species and the tranquility of the environment. Fishing takes place in respect of natural balances, highlighting the site as an example of coexistence between humans and the environment.
Every year, at the end of June, the lake comes alive with the traditional lake-side festival, where nature meets local flavors in a welcoming and authentic atmosphere.
