バルバラーノ・ヴィチェンティーノのおすすめランニングルート

An enchanting valley crossed by a stream that for centuries powered dozens of watermills. Today, it remains a bucolic landscape, with paths leading between ancient rural buildings and natural caves. A place that tells the story of rural life in the Berici Hills.

BEAUTIFUL PLACES THE BERICI HILLS ARE REALLY WORTH VISITING, FABULOUS AND VERY PEACEFUL LANDSCAPES

The Valley of the Mills of Mossano, which crosses Contrà dei Munari, is an enchanting corner of the Berici Hills: the stream, the ancient rustic buildings beautifully restored and three imposing wooden wheels still in operation make up a suggestive and picturesque environment, where time seems suspended. Beautiful in spring, when flowers and greenery frame the fascinating bucolic picture. Along this short valley, until the Second World War, twelve mills of medieval origin were active, which incessantly ground flour for the inhabitants of Mossano and the nearby villages. At the head of the valley, a permanent spring feeds the stream which in turn turns the wheels. Fun fact: the Contrà dei Munari (a Venetian surname that derives from millers) is also known as Via Calbin, because it is said that in the Middle Ages a certain Calbino collected a tax in exchange for the use of the stream; in case of non-payment, he activated a lock, interrupting the flow of water and therefore the work of the grinders!

Hidden fountain in the woods, an unexpected cool refreshment!

From Mossano (near the town hall), follow the clearly visible signs, path 81, which after a short descent leads you uphill between old mills, accompanied by the sweet sound of the stream.

The Valle dei Mulini of Mossano and path 81 take you to a wonderful corner of the Berici, where history, traditions and nature come together to give those who travel it a unique experience of peace and tranquility. It is a path also suitable for children, easy and always well maintained.

Superb ride in the heart of the Berici

Some winter days offer an exciting panorama towards the nearby Euganean Hills, which seem to emerge from the fog like islands from the ocean.
