Parco Archeo Natura Fiavé - Archeo Nature Park
A fascinating journey through time, diving into the past, into the atmosphere of the pile-dwelling village of Fiavé to experience the life of our Bronze Age ancestors. Between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, in Fiavé, in the Valli Giudicarie, where once was the ancient Carera Lake, the Archeo Nature Park rises today, in an environment of great value. A path of discovery and knowledge in the evocative scenery of the nature reserve, a few dozen metres from the archaeological area, included by UNESCO in the World Heritage List, where the remains of the posts that supported the prehistoric buildings are still visible. The Archeo Nature Park and the archaeological area, together with the Pile dwelling Museum in the village of Fiavé, form a true archaeological compound, full of surprises for visitors of all ages. All this is an invitation to adventure and exploration of the past along an engaging route with full-scale reconstruction of the prehistoric buildings, installations illustrating life at the time of the pile dwellings, information panels, a visitor centre with films and multimedia equipment, rest areas as well as spaces dedicated to families and children.
