The mountain region

The upper land of the town territory is covered by a wood composed by juniper plants, which reproduce realistically the straight trunks of a mountain forest; the soil is coated by a dense undergrowth (figures 1 and 2).

The appearance of the wood in winter is particularly suggestive (figure 3)

Across the wood flows a stream which forms a small lake (figures 4 and 5).

Leaving the lake the stream turns into a waterfall (figure 6) and, passing under the main bridge of the area, flows into the biggest lake of the territory (figure 7), located on the edge of the town; its maximum depth is about 35cm and covers a surface of about 10 square meters; the lake houses a population of sunfishes.
