The Antrona lake
Lake Antrona is a pretty lake located in the valley of the same name, formed in 1600 due to a landslide of the surrounding mountains due to an earthquake, which obstructed the course of the local stream. It is easily reachable by car up to the village of Antrona-existence, to then follow the route that is structured in a ring (duration 1h) with no gradient except for an insignificant climb near the waterfall. The lake is particularly suggestive due to the reflections in the crystalline water that the Troncone stream enters into it. The route also includes a passage under a waterfall which, due to the drought in recent years, has been reduced considerably. The same point is raised and the best photos can be taken at the lake. Also near the waterfall there are tables that allow a stop with a packed lunch and a beach where you can sunbathe. However, there is a prohibition on bathing, even if the lake is calm and peaceful, due to sudden water leaks due to hydraulic maneuvers from the Campliccioli dam above Lago di Antrona - Antronapiana (VB) - Italy, for more information visit:
