Very beautiful forest roads but with some double-digit climbs

Simply fantastic, one of the most beautiful and suggestive waterfalls ever seen

The Roccolo del Sauch, in the Cembra Valley, is an ancient system for capturing birds. It is a vegetal construction of beech and fir trees suitably intertwined and pruned, so as to create a practicable tunnel with a grassy clearing in the center. After a large number of birds had landed in the space at the center of the tunnel, the scarecrow was waved from the hut preceded by the birdcatcher's whistle. The horizontal escape took the birds straight towards an almost invisible net stretched between the arches of the tunnel.

Near the lake of Piazze, the waterfall of the Regnana stream, called "del Lupo", is of great charm and natural beauty. The water falls into the void for about 36 meters and in winter it is possible that it freezes, creating an amazing spectacle. The stream, however, does not continue flowing into the lake of Piazze, but into the Avisio torrent.

Impressive erosion

An integral part of the Argentario Ecomuseum, this body of water is located in a wooded basin at almost 1000 m above sea level, in the southern part of the Cembra Valley. Despite not having significant dimensions (it measures 310 m in length, 120 m in width, and a maximum depth of 8 metres) it represents an element of great landscape importance and a place of incredible naturalistic importance. The geological interest of the basin is given by its location on a fault that separates lava rocks (quartz porphyries) from sedimentary rocks (Calisio limestones). Its origin is very particular: the basin was certainly "worked" by glaciers, as is evident from the smoothing of the large rocks located on the north bank, today characterized by the presence of a dense reed thicket. Tufts of sedges grow almost everywhere, while its waters are surrounded by lush forests of Scots pine. In spring, the wonderful white-pink inflorescences of the fibrino clover emerge in the shallow water areas. Today the ichthyofauna guarantees a high level of fish in the lake, which has at least 10 confirmed species. Mallard ducks, coots and moorhens nest in the reed thicket in spring. But the faunal importance of the lake and the swamp is above all due to the amphibians, which come here in spring from the surrounding areas to mate and lay their eggs: as many as 6 species have been observed to date.

Beautiful alpine lake where you can enjoy the coolness in summer

From this panoramic point, not far from Piazzo, it is possible to observe the pyramids of Segonzano in all their grandeur. They are called òmeni in the local dialect due to their resemblance to human beings. They were formed about 50,000 years ago thanks to the erosive action of water on the ground.
