モンテディマーロの天然記念物・トップ20

The Buso della Rana is the largest cave in the Veneto region and one of the most extensive in Italy, with a network of caves stretching almost 30 km in total (40 km including the Pissatèla complex above, to which it is connected). Located beneath the Faedo-Casaròn Plateau, it is an intricate karst system that collects and channels the plateau's waters into the Rio Rana, which flows at the entrance. It was formed when rainwater seeps into the permeable limestone surface layer and, encountering the underlying impermeable basalt (volcanic rock), flows laterally, eroding the rock. Over millions of years, this has created a complex labyrinth of horizontal tunnels, chambers, chimneys, siphons, and small lakes traversed by underground streams. Because it drains the plateau's waters, the cave is subject to flash floods, making exploration treacherous. Inside, the temperature remains constant between 10 and 12°C year-round. It is freely accessible through the monumental entrance and by proceeding along the Main Branch for about fifty meters, until reaching the first flooded corridor or Siphon, a horizontal constriction that requires crawling. From there, it is the preserve of speleologists or exciting and adventurous guided tours organized by associations like Biosphera (see link). The internal branches are not marked, and one must know the way. The name of the cave has nothing to do with the amphibian, but is an Italianized term from the Cimbrian word "roan," meaning "rocky wall," referring to the cliff at the entrance. https://www.busodellarana.it https://esplora.biosphaera.it/luoghi/buso-della-rana/

panoramic point over the Agno valley and the Little Dolomites. One of the few spots as the trail always runs through bush.

Beautiful panoramic point immediately below the Turigi peak (or Turiggi), along the suggestive path along the crest of the Castiglieri: the view ranges 360° from the Piccole Dolomiti to the Pianura. The terrace, which also has a stone 'compass' indicating the peaks and main locations, was built and cared for by a group of volunteers, like the entire Braggion Trail. N.B.: the summit of Monte Turigi (with the cross) is actually slightly higher, and can be reached via a nearby path; but it is a small clearing surrounded by trees that hide the view.

The Val dei Molini is a surprisingly unspoiled and wild environment, where you enter a mysterious and evocative forest: water dominates, forming lively waterfalls and deep ravines; everywhere, lush moss covers rocks and tree trunks. You cross a series of small valleys (Val Sesura, Valle Arlene, Val dell'Asino, Val del Gambero, Val Smiderle, Val Bisele) and ford several streams that eventually flow into the Refosco stream. The Val d'Asino is particularly evocative, where two streams join in an enchanting clearing, forming waterfalls and a deep, winding ravine. The name reflects how the stream was once exploited: the remains of man-made structures, such as stone masonry and building foundations, bear witness to this. Obviously, the valley is at its best after days of rain.

The Bocca Lorenza is nothing more than a cave (which if I'm not mistaken is also used for speleology) be careful not to go too far because you risk slipping

View from the Castilian cross that will leave you 😮

The Bocca Lorenza cave is a natural cavity that enters the bowels of the Summano and descends into a series of rooms located at increasing depths. Since the early years of the twentieth century, excavations have been carried out which have brought to light numerous finds dating back mainly to prehistoric times, which testify to its use as a domestic shelter, tomb and place of worship. The interior of the cave can be freely visited and equipped with cables (perpetually wet due to humidity), but experience and adequate equipment are still required: a headlamp and helmet are essential. For everyone else, it's best to stop at the lobby. The cave is very humid and dark, with a slippery bottom and a constant temperature of around 13 degrees. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocca_Lorenza https://mostre.cab.unipd.it/schio/it/63/i-reperti-di-bocca-lorenza
