Hiking
A monument to Gilles Villeneuve was erected in the Parco delle Acque Minerali in 1983, shortly after the Canadian driver's tragic death during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix in Zolder. The monument, designed by engineer Ferdinando Forlay, consists of nine circles symbolizing the beginning and the end, and three black cylinders referring to Villeneuve's spectacular ride on three wheels during the Dutch Grand Prix in 1979. The monument was restored in 2016.
