Contrà Pria, is located just outside the town of Arsiero, and is surrounded by unspoiled nature. During the year, the area is almost uninhabited, but during the summer comes alive and the shores of of the river are crowded with bathers. It's a relaxing place, perfect for a weekend trip and where to freshen in these hot summer days. Despite there being a municipal ordinance that, for safety reasons, prohibits the dips from the bridge and from the rocks of the canyon, there are always numerous daredevils who want to experience the thrill of a flight of 10 meters in the cold waters of the creek. I don't know if it was the heat, the clear water or the desire to plunge, but admiring the view from above, a shiver ran down my spine. It was a mix of fear and adrenaline. It was a thrill of freedom. Contrà Pria, is a fascinating place because it allows to dive into "Pozze of Arsiero": three zones of the creek, where the water has formed ponds, where divers leave for their explorations. In these holes, about nine meters deep, diving enthusiasts can explore the hidden corners of the rocky gorge. For those who remain on the surface, however, the beach is equipped with kiosks, beach volleyball courts, picnic areas suitable for families, groups of friends and even to pet owners who want to spend a...
Read moreThis place is ABSOLUTELY stunning!! I do NOT recommend strollers, wheelchairs, or wagons on the paths. There's rocks to climb over/on when walking around! If you have babies, wear a baby carrier! Small children can walk on the paths and stuff, but I strongly recommend you hold their hand when letting them walk across rocks/boulders!
The views are worth a million words! The water is clear, and it smells amazing! We saw tadpoles, fish, and snails! We got to skip some stones, throw rocks into the water off the bridge, and see so many cute dogs!!
I recommend visiting when it's not summer time, it does get super busy! If you do go during the summertime, leave early and get a parking spot ASAP! (You have to pay for parking)
I CAN NOT WAIT TO COME BACK AND HIKE AROUND...
Read moreRitorno in questo luogo dopo qualche anno. Luogo incantevole per rigenerarsi con molta ombra e acqua freschissima, possibilità di fare il bagno. Assolutamente da evitare il weekend, già di venerdì era appena vivibile, arrivate all' apertura per trovare un posticino altrimenti dovete mettervi sulle pietre!! Cani consentiti al guinzaglio solo da un lato del fiume, l altro è curato a prato ed è considerato zona relax dove è vietata musica, giochi e cani per l.appunto. Ristorante dove mangiare in loco (prezzo nella norma) e servizi igienici. 5€ di parcheggio ( tutto il giorno, 1€ l ora)che tra l altro non è custodito,ha bisogno di manutenzione ( buche enormi), pochi posti all' ombra e tenendo conto che il parco apre pure alle 10!! SONO DAVVERO TROPPI!!! Posso capire che c'è una manutenzione dell' aerea relax, ma chi viene col cane non ne usufruisce quindi si arrangia come può ,per cosa sono dovuti 5€? All' aerea relax si accede da un vialetto transennato...che li facessero pagare a chi accede a quell' area. Oltretutto quando il guardiamo è in pausa caffè diverse auto passano senza pagare perché non c'è una sbarra e la colonnina rimane alle spalle di chi guida. Mi auguro che ci sia un controllo delle auto in sosta altrimenti c'è chi paga ( per nulla tra...
