Top 5 Natural Monuments around Bolzano Vicentino

it is worth visiting these places for the tranquility and the scenery

The set of springs that make up the Bacchiglione stream are enclosed in a splendid naturalistic area. It is possible to access it from different points and in different ways, but in any case cycling here is wonderful. There is a refreshment point: to check its opening I recommend you visit the official website of the place, https://www.risorgivedelbacchiglione.it.

The Crosara Oasis is located along the Brenta River, a place where nature and culture merge for the well-being of the environment. The oasis is enriched with native trees such as willow, poplar and ash, flowery meadows, and new paths, while invasive species are removed to restore the balance of the ecosystem.

The resurgences are spontaneous outcrops of water, typical of the Po Valley: in this particular case, in the mountains the water of rain or snow origin is not retained by the karst soil of the Asiago Plateau and the Little Dolomites; instead of remaining on the surface and descending through the valleys, it infiltrates the rocks, forming cracks, tunnels and caves; after this slow journey underground, which can last 10 years, in the low plain it encounters waterproof clay layers which force it to re-emerge. It comes out very pure, very clear, full of mineral salts and at a constant temperature of 10-13°. This is how the Bacchiglione river originates, in the middle of the countryside as if by magic, and then flows through Vicenza, Padua and finally flows into the Adriatic. The Bacchiglione Resurgences are a nature reserve which, thanks to the aforementioned peculiarities of the water, create an ideal habitat to host animal and plant species not common in the surrounding areas. They are a resting place for migratory birds and there is in fact a hut for birdwatching. This oasis of peace is open on weekends and divided into three areas: the first accessible for free; the second only with a guided tour (for a fee, booking on the site a few days in advance); the last area is a complete reserve and can only be used for scientific purposes. https://www.risorgivedelbacchiglione.it

Easy and fun even for children. In summer almost always in the shade.

I suggest starting the route at the Angarano power plant, to be seen absolutely south of the Ponte Vecchio, and go down to Piazzola sul Brenta, you can do both right and left Brenta, with a bit of orientation and a spirit of adventure you can also find a well-trodden bottom.

Beautiful area for walking and cycling! For the gravel it is a paradise! DESCRIPTION: A resurgence, or fountain, is a source of fresh water of natural origin, sometimes made to emerge by man, typical of alluvial plain soils such as the Po-Venetian Plain. The Bacchiglione river originates at the foot of the Vicentine Prealps and runs through a large stretch of the Po Valley, crossing two large cities, Vicenza and Padua. Since ancient times it has represented a very important communication route and its waters have been exploited for many productive and commercial activities. The ancient name of this river was "Edrone", as mentioned for the first time in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century. A.D. while the current name "Bacchiglione" could derive from the dialect verb "bacajare" that is to rattle, chat continuously, perhaps because the gurgling produced by the water during floods is similar to human shouting. In the Venetian Plain, in the area around Dueville, the waters that flow deeply encounter increasingly consistent layers of impermeable clay, which hinder their underground flow and "force" them to spontaneously rise to the surface. In this way the suggestive spring springs are formed: small hollows in which the perennial gushing of the streams of water originates a stream called "resurgence". Some of these springs, marked on the map of the Risorgive del Bacchiglione, are also visible within the area! The spring water has several peculiarities: it is very clear and, thanks to its constant temperature (between 10 ° and 13 ° C), it creates a particular microclimate that is perfect for hosting animal and plant species that are not common in the neighboring areas.

Super funnny segment! highly recommended!
