빌라노바 비엘레제‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪17‬개의 천연기념물

Must do, at least once, interesting place.

The oasis they built with a wooden construction overlooking the lake is very pleasant

In Lake Viverone, the remains of around 5000 poles driven into the ground which supported the structures of a very ancient large pile-dwelling village dating back to the Bronze Age have been extraordinarily preserved. The site has an important archaeological value, artefacts such as swords, axes, pins and ornaments have been discovered, which have allowed us to reconstruct the life of a Bronze Age community. The site is now a World Heritage Site.

Small and quiet lake where you can take 4 steps

A few meters below the water level, the remains of approximately 5000 poles stuck in the ground have been preserved, evidence of an ancient pile-dwelling village dating back to the Bronze Age. The settlement is one of the 111 "Prehistoric Pile-dwelling Sites of the Alpine Arc" protected by UNESCO. The place is definitely enchanting: water lilies, poplars, aquatic birds...

The stilt houses on Lake Viverone, a place to stop and enjoy the view.

I recommend it because there are some nice paths in the area, unfortunately the lake itself and the scenery are a bit ruined by large electric pylons.

The area of the Bessa Nature Reserve is approximately 8 kilometers long, with an average width of one kilometre. It is located between Biella and Ivrea, included in the municipalities of Borriana, Cerrione, Mongrando and Zubiena, on the orographic right of the Elvo stream. It is part of the Serra moraine, considered the largest in Europe. A lunar appearance, with large mounds placed together like desert dunes, made up of stones of various sizes. Between one pile and another, curtains of often impenetrable plants and bushes. This is the aspect that one perceives when entering the Bessa Nature Reserve for the first time, established in 1985. But the charm of Bessa also lies in its history. One thing is now certain. This entire large territory, almost ten square kilometers, has been entirely modified in its appearance by the work of thousands of men. These were the Ictimuli - or Vittimuli - who inhabited a large part of the Biella area over two thousand years ago. Led and exploited by the Romans between the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. they transformed the Bessa into one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world. Traces of this immense work remain in the mounds, erected by piling up the stones discarded during the excavation. Source: https://www.atl.biella.it/localita-dettaglio/-/d/riserva-speciale-della-bes-1
