Lake Vagli is an artificial basin formed following the construction of a hydroelectric dam. When the lake is emptied, the village Fabbriche di Careggine re-emerges, which in the late 1940s was submerged by rising waters. It is wonderful to walk along it on the right.

These reservoirs, created to extract hydroelectric energy, have their own charm, even as industrial architecture. This lake conceals the old town beneath its waters. Attractions such as the suspension bridge and zip line, as well as a family pool, have been built around it. During bike rides, I find refreshments here, taking advantage of the opportunity to take a break.
