Here, for thousands of years, the powerful waters of the stream have carried debris that, through erosion, has carved out curious cavities in the sandstone rock.

You can cross the lake by canoe and even by pedal boat, for the enjoyment of the whole family!
On the farm with donkeys
Spend a few hours away from time in the rolling hills of Sarsina, in the presence of His Majesty the Donkey and his friend the Alpaca, animals of unique sensitivity and… “humanity” It is a way to reconnect with the healthy rhythms of nature and be guided by the ancient wisdom of animals.
You will go for a walk to discover the area, the farm, and its inhabitants, guided by an expert farmer, but above all by a friendly, affectionate, and intelligent quadruped that is much more than meets the eye.
