Tips

Giada Affaticati

November 17, 2023

The Sass da Preja Buia, or Sass de Preja Buia, is located in Sesto Calende, near the Oratory of San Vincenzo, along the Hidden Wonders itinerary.
It is a large erratic boulder (i.e. a block of rock that was transported to the valley floor by a glacier) dating back to the last glaciation of the Neozoic.

Made up of a bright greenish rock, it still features numerous graffiti made in prehistoric times: it can be assumed that the boulder was used as a sacrificial altar. Other erratic boulders found nearby have other graffiti.

The Boulder is also a strong magnetic point; if you approach it with a compass, it will start spinning in all directions like crazy.
