The way of the mills in Lozzo di Cadore

The artificial canal of the mills is located along the rio Rin and until the middle of the twentieth century it was the fulcrum of production of Lozzo di Cadore. Nestled among woods and the peaks of the Dolomites, in the province of Belluno, the town has always been rich in crafts. According to a 1766 document, along the Rin waterway stood ten grain mill wheels, a timber sawmill, a woolen cloth mill, sixteen canvas looms, and five mill stones.

The Cimbri of Cansiglio

The Cansiglio is a pre-Alpine plateau amid the provinces of Belluno, Treviso and Pordenone. Shaped like a basin, it is a veritable paradise for hiking through its vast forest, which is the second-largest in Italy. But aside from the naturalistic interest afforded here, it is worth visiting this territory to discover an ancient ethnic settlement dating back to the beginning of the 1800s. We are talking about the Cimbri people.

Valle Imperina Mining Centre

The Valle Imperina Mining Centre, located in the municipality of Rivamonte Agordino (BL), in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, is an important part of Italy's historical industrial heritage, as a testimony to mining activity that lasted almost six centuries. This site, once a hub for copper mining and processing, has undergone several historical phases, in a shift from pillar of the local mining industry to an almost forgotten area.

The Butterfly House

A unique and exciting show you can experience in he Butterfly Arc of Montegrotto Terme, in the surroundings of the Euganean hills: hundreds of colourful butterflies flying free in a miniature tropical forest.

The structure consists of a glass greenhouse filled with lush plants including palms, banana trees, orchids and passiflora that mimic the tropical climate, thus allowing the butterflies to live in absolute freedom, all under the amazed eyes of the visitors. They are born, grow and "pampered" here.

It is a biotope that was commissioned to be managed by the WWF.

The G. Lorenzoni Botanical Gardens

The G. Lorenzoni Alpine Botanical Gardens are in a central position with respect to the Cansiglio plateau. On a calcareous area of approximately 3 ha, the Garden accommodates the flora and vegetation of the Cansiglio-Col Nudo-Cavallo massif, a complex of diverse environments, meadows, humid places, rocks and woodland. This extensive area surrounding the garden is highly complex and therefore potentially suitable for accommodating diverse habitats.
