Top 4 Natural Monuments around Dueville

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

*Update February 2025: the main path has been cleared and widened, and the valley is no longer so difficult and adventurous; only the final part remains wild, with numerous fallen trees.

The Sant'Andrea Valley in Grumolo di Pedemonte is a wild, chaotic, intricate, humid, and gloomy environment. The adventurous trail is often interrupted by a stream that must be forded and large fallen trees that must be climbed over or circumnavigated; you'll need to be resourceful to continue. Furthermore, some sections and variants may be interrupted by a wall of brambles and nettles. Nature reigns supreme: the deep green moss contrasts with the black, shiny basalt—a sign of the Bregonze's volcanic origins—that emerges from the ground and characterizes the riverbed. The Valley is named after Sant'Andrea because in centuries past there stood a small rustic church dedicated to the saint, accessible by a path descending from the "Bosco del Prete" (Priest's Woods). A cross has been placed on the site of the former church, a small clearing surrounded by dense forest. https://www.altovicentinonline.it/rubriche/itinerari/da-grumolo-alla-valle-di-santandrea-e-al-rivon/

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!
