ドーラ・バルテーアの天然記念物・トップ20

Burnelは、Nomaglioの中心部を横切る通りであるVia Maestraの途中に位置する、古代のコッペッラ（cup-marked stone）です。その表面には、先史時代に刻まれたコッペッラ、つまり半球状の小さな窪みが今も残っています。その正確な機能は研究者の間で議論の的となっていますが、おそらく豊穣の儀式や崇拝の実践に関連していたと考えられています。より最近の時代には、この石は水盤を設けることで噴水として利用され、また、村人たちがここで刃物やナイフを研ぐために残した溝も石に見ることができます。「burnel」という名前はまさにこれを意味します。つまり、石製の水盤を持つ噴水です。これは、数平方センチメートルの面積に、先史時代の痕跡の上に重なった何世紀にもわたる日常の使用の歴史を物語るものであり、周囲にある典型的なCanavese様式のアーチを持つ石造りの家々よりもはるかに古い時代からこの村の生活に寄り添ってきました。

Nomaglio is a small but pleasant, characteristic village that deserves a quick stop and a bike ride.

The five lakes of the moraine amphitheater are beautiful, each with its own unique characteristics. They're all worth exploring, preferably on foot, but some are also accessible by mountain bike. If you'd like to learn more about them, please contact me - Piero7

Plain with a view, a short stop is worthwhile.

Even in spring it's a spectacle!

finding peace like this place elsewhere, if you go there during the week, is very difficult

It is a unique place of its kind. In a rather small and circumscribed area 2 steps from the Montalto lake (also called "Rabbit" lake) there is an area with a very dark soil composed of water, peat, earth and medium-sized trees. Especially when the ground is wet or it has rained previously if you jump on the surface, it moves creating small waves making the surrounding trees dance. A real show! You can reach the dancing lands from 2 different dirt tracks. For those with good technical skills the entry or exit paths in both directions are also fun to pedal.

Lake Campagna, also known as "Lake Cascinette", is a glacial body of water formed with the retreat of the Balteo glacier. It is part of the suggestive system of the "Five Lakes of Ivrea", together with Lake Sirio, Lake Nero, Lake Pistono and Lake San Michele.
