An enchanted place, where nature has expressed the best of itself in terms of modeling these stones that really seem like piles of books stacked up waiting to be rearranged. But what is even more interesting is the inevitable presence of a large group of ibex that, photographed in this environment, are truly beautiful.

Hiking

On the crest of Borgà, and more precisely near Mount Sterpezza, you can enjoy a unique spectacle. A series of limestone blocks stacked on top of each other that have the peculiarity of looking like books of rock. The reason for this conformation is due to the structure against which the rock is formed. Layers that are more soluble in meteorological waters resting on less soluble layers cause furrows to be created between one layer and another, all of which gives the eye the vision and the sensation of being in front of cyclopean books of rock.
