리오 마리나‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 호수

The Terranera lake can be reached in 10 minutes via a comfortable path that starts from the left bank of the Reale beach in Porto Azzurro and which, before reaching Terranera, crosses a beach of shiny grey gravel where you can see architectural traces of mining activity.

Beautiful seaside path that offers magnificent views.

Beautiful landscape in contrast with the peaceful lake of Terranera on one side and the sea and waves on the other. Beautiful gradients of blue and greenish colors.

The Conche lake, located on the plateau of Mount Calamita, can be reached via dirt paths that wind through coastal views and Mediterranean scrub. The lake, of artificial origin, was created during mining activities on Mount Calamita. The water has a characteristic reddish color due to the high concentration of ferrous minerals, residue of ancient iron extractions. This makes the place not only fascinating from a natural point of view, but also an interesting example of industrial archaeology.

Beautiful town with small square and marina

There are not many good cycle paths near Porto Azzuro on the island of Elba, but I can highly recommend this bike tour from Porto Azzuro to Capoliveri. It runs on side roads with fantastic views and some of the path is even only approved as a cycle path. It is also pleasant to drive in summer, as beautiful pine trees often cast cool shade

highlights of the tour

The water of the Terranera lake has an emerald green color which contrasts with the intense blue of the sea. The lake originated following the filling of sulphurous and brackish water from an old mining quarry where hematite, magnesite and pyrite were extracted.
