Revine Lago: Lakes, History and Paths through the Landscape

Revine Lago reveals its character through the combination of lakeside landscapes, culture and paths through the surrounding area. The natural lakes of Santa Maria and San Giorgio are of glacial origin and are fed by springs from the Piave catchment area. Those who wish to explore a place from a natural-history and historical perspective will find several clearly distinct approaches here.

Lakes and Culture in the Town

The Parco Archeologico Didattico del Livelet is located in the Lago district of Revine Lago. The Chiesetta di San Marco, dating from 1755/1760, adds a distinctive contemporary-historical accent. Both names offer different points of connection for a stay: In addition to the history of the small church, the Lago district also represents Revine Lago’s special connection with its lake landscape.

Film, Museums and Historic Sites

The Lago Film Fest is an independent festival for research cinema, founded in 2005 in the lake area of Revine Lago. Revine is also associated with the Presepe vivente: During the Christmas season, it is performed in the church square of S. Matteo Apostolo di Revine; the event takes place from the end of December to the beginning of January. The cultural spectrum therefore ranges from film to a seasonal religious tradition.

In the immediate vicinity of Revine are the Fondazione “m. Minucci”, a museum; the Castello di San Martino, a castle; the Museo Della Battaglia, a museum; and the Loggia del Cenedese, a historic site. These destinations complement the local themes with different forms of remembrance, architectural history and culture, without limiting Revine Lago to a single sightseeing focus.

Church History and Monte Frascon

The Chiesa di San Matteo is documented as early as 1313 and became a parish church in 1537. Inside, it preserves an altarpiece dating from the early 18th century by the local painter Egidio Dall’Oglio. The Castello di Monte Frascon was destroyed in 1282–1283. It is located on the summit of Monte Frascon at an elevation of 380 metres and can be reached via the old road north of the Santuario di San Francesco di Paola.

Mountains and Circular Hiking Trails

Monte Cor, Monte Cimone and Monte Agnellezze are mountains in the immediate vicinity of Revine. Monte Sambuga is a mountain in the area around Revine. These elevations thus form a scenic backdrop for anyone who wishes to take in not only the lakes but also the mountain ranges and paths through the area surrounding the town.

On the circular hiking trail from Revine, the Via Crucis leads to the Santuario di San Francesco; the Strada de le Musse No. 1032 is then followed. For the descent to Malga Col Cavaler, Revine’s circular hiking trail uses the Strada dei Cavai No. 1033; the route then continues downhill on a forest road. The two sections of trail highlight different interests: One combines the ascent with a sanctuary, while the other structures the descent and the continuation of the route.

Tailor Your Stay

When choosing accommodation in Revine Lago, you can plan your stay around the lakes of Santa Maria and San Giorgio, the cultural and historic sites, or the circular hiking trail from Revine. Those who wish to include the Lago district can make the Parco Archeologico Didattico del Livelet a focal point. Those with a stronger interest in history can connect the Chiesa di San Matteo, the Castello di Monte Frascon and the destinations in the immediate vicinity in their itinerary.
