Olt de Val d’Arc

A massive limestone arch that marks the border between the former Municipality of Mel and that of Miane, located along the Praderadego Ring Trail (Trail no. 2310).

According to history, after the donation of the Castle and the Countship of Zumelle by the valiant Sofia in Da Camino, Countess of Colfosco, to the Bishop of Belluno (year 1177) as a division of the Feud into two parts, Treviso and Belluno, issues arose in defining and marking the new borders.

Disputes and raids of all sorts occurred between the two neighboring communities over the possession of the rich pastures of the Cesen-Praderadego ridge, to the extent that in 1562, a kind of mediation was attempted by the Podestà of Bergamo, sent by the Venetian Republic, proposing to assign the Salvedella pasture to the Municipality of Mel, through compensation in money to benefit the Feudal Lord of Valmareno and the Monastery of Follina as rightful claimants.

The negotiations and mediations amounted to nothing, and an agreement was only reached in 1838, when the new borders were definitively outlined.
To commemorate the event dated June 6 1838, two commemorative effigies were engraved on the rock of the Bridge, one facing north, Municipality of Mel, and one facing south, Municipality of Miane, and the Bridge became a safe and definitive marker of the boundaries between the two municipalities and between the provinces of Belluno and Treviso.
