モントルソ・ヴィチェンティーノの天然記念物・トップ9

The Grotta dell'Orco, also known as the Grotta del Boscòn, is the largest natural cave in the area: a large cavern of about twenty meters that originated from the intersection of various fractures in the rock and shaped by meteoric erosion. Frequented by men since prehistoric times, it was used over the centuries as a shelter for shepherds and a humble home for poor families. Legend has it that a disturbing ogre lived here who took it out on travelers with his cries and his lugubrious laugh.

Tramigna River Resurgences in Cazzano di Tramigna

Monte Nero, above Montecchio Maggiore, is actually a hill: despite its modest size, it is quite unique in terms of its geology, morphology, and botanical rarities! Thirty million years ago, Monte Nero was a volcanic island emerging from the waters. This gave rise to the current peak, which, with its bare, arid, and dark basalt (hence the name "Nero"), stands out clearly from the surrounding limestone hills. It is a unique (micro)environment: you walk on the primitive, solidified lava flow; you encounter rare plants, including exotic and Mediterranean ones, which are, to say the least, unusual to find in these places. A short educational trail (also suitable for children) starts from the Church of San Pietro and illustrates the peculiarities of Monte Nero in six stages/panels. https://www.prolocoaltemontecchio.it/cosa-vedere/percorsi/naturalistici/

Resurgences and pools that create this basin of crystal clear water

Perarolo di Arcugnano is a splendid village, dominated by the splendid church of San Bernardino with its particular bell tower designed at the end of the 19th century by the architect Vittorio Barichella. From here there are some beautiful paths that lead towards the woods of Brendola.

In the photo the resurgence of the Tramigna river (from which the town takes its name) also called "Lago della Mora", located behind the Trattoria La Mora, where you can stop for a coffee or a quick lunch. Next to the resurgence there is also a fountain for refuelling.
