Tambre

Tambre

Tambre is a small mountain village in the Alpago area whose history and culture are closely tied to the Cansiglio Forest and exploitation of its timber.

Divided between the provinces of Belluno, Treviso and Pordenone, the Cansiglio plateau, with its 7,000 hectares of beech, silver fir and spruce forests, is a real green lung where you can practice golf, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, ski mountaineering and snowshoeing. As you walk through these quiet, enchanted places, you may also be lucky enough to see deer and roe deer up close. The Cansiglio Forest is also linked to the history of the Cimbri who, called by the Republic of Venice to work on timber, came here in the 18th century.

In addition to enjoying the splendid natural heritage of these places, it is worth a visit to the charming Alchemist's House Museum and the House of Books, a magical place where the walls consist of hundreds of carved books, the fence is made of pencils, the gate a pair of glasses and the interior is magic to be discovered.
