On the state road climbing up from Vittorio Veneto, before the Passo della Crosetta, on Monte Cansiglio (1,127 m), up a steep dirt road, lies the Cercenedo Alpine farm.

Catering

Rural tourism. You can taste the products of the farm throughout the grazing period.

And then...

From the dairy hut you can continue on a trail inside a beech wood and reach the Sponda Alta farm and, from here, Col dei S'cios.

In Caneva you can see the remains of the surrounding walls and of the old town centre with the fortified tower, a relic of the old castle. The villas Frova, Carli, Luccheschi and Damiani di Stevenà are examples of stately country houses (19th century). The religious buildings, such as The "Madonna del Persego" shrine, the church of San Tommaso Apostolo (keeping three altarpieces by Francesco da Milano) and the church of S. Lucia (11th century), with renaissance frescoes are both worth a visit, are also interesting. The Museo del ciclismo (cycling museum) entitled to Toni Pessot and the Museo del minatore (miner's museum) in Fratta are both worth seeing.

In the Cansiglio wood nearby the remains of a hunters' camp dated around 11,000 B.C. have been found.

Nearby you can find the Archaelogical Park of "Palù di Livenza", with the relics of a stilt house village and finds dating back to the Upper Palaeolithic. The area is also remarkable for its environmental value. The site is a candidate to be included in the list of ancient settlements on the Alps to become part of the world cultural heritage protected by UNESCO.

Food products such as the Caneva's FigoMoro, the Alpine farm cheese, the extra virgin oil, red wines and Caneva's "verdisio", a white wine made from an autochthonous vine variety, are also noteworthy.
