The Fimon Lake

The Fimon Lake is one of the most beautiful and interesting naturalistic places in the Berici Hills. It is, in particular, a 1.5 km long lake basin fed by underground springs, whose history dates back to the Bronze Age.

It is located in the municipality of Arcugnano in the province of Vicenza, a few minutes by car from the wonderful historic center of Vicenza. Historic center also called "the city of Palladio", which thanks to its many late Renaissance works was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

In addition to the great landscape value, its importance is linked to the unique habitat, with the presence of flora and fauna typical of wetlands. This aspect is captured by walking or cycling along the 5 km educational trail that goes around the lake, through willows, poplars, reeds and delicate water lilies.

The lake preserves around its banks excursions in a very interesting and characteristic environment, especially for ornithology enthusiasts, in fact it represents a fundamental stopping point for migratory birds.

In any case, the route is very clear, suitable for anyone, even for wheelchair users.
