Tips from the Community
The new arch bridge over Lake Barcis, inaugurated in the early months of 2021, is a strategic infrastructure located near the Ponte Antoi dam. It is a single-span arch bridge, approximately 78 meters long with an overall width of 12.90 meters. It allows the transit of heavy vehicles — particularly those used for transporting inert materials during the basin's de-silting operations — avoiding passage over the historic dam or through the inhabited center of Barcis. https://www.fvgstrade.it/it/20585/fase-finale-varo-ponte-di-barcis

Lake Aprilis, better known as Lake Barcis, is an artificial basin created in 1954 by damming the Cellina stream near the Ponte Antoi gorge. It owes its characteristic brilliant green color to the combination of sunlight with minerals and calcareous sediments carried by the water. The presence of dense beech and fir forests along the banks accentuates the emerald green tones.
