IL LAGO DI VAGLI

The lake of Vagli is situated in the heart of the Apuan Alps. It is a huge artificial basin created in 1947 with a dam stopping the flow of the river Edron. To be able to create this basin a small village named Fabbriche di Careggine, centre of iron works, had to disappear completely under the water. Only occasionally the lake is emptied for maintenance purposes, then you can see the ghostly structure of the village that keeps intact all its characteristics.
