The CROCE DI PREDORE rises above the Lombard landscape, its steel framework construction reaching towards the sky from the mountain. The small sacred monument and the view invite passers-by to take a short break, which you should definitely do here.

The Sebino Torbiere Nature Reserve, declared a "wetland of international importance" according to the Ramsar Convention and a Site of Community Interest (SCI) of the Natura 2000 Network, is considered a priority area for biodiversity in the Lombardy Po Valley. This is due to the variety of habitats and species, aquatic-marshland, valuable or of community interest present in the territory, rare or at risk of extinction in Lombardy and Italy. It is an area of 360 hectares, mainly composed of reed beds and bodies of water surrounded by cultivated fields, roads and houses. It includes: the Lame (vast expanse of bodies of water profiled by banks, the result of the excavation of a peaty deposit), the Lamette (a kind of peaty lagoon to the north, on the lake), some basins to the south and west (result of excavations of clayey deposits, up to 10-15 meters deep and with a clearer appearance, in some of which fishing is still permitted), some adjacent meadows and cultivated fields.

The Reserve, established in 1984, takes its name from the particular shape that the moraine deposit of sand, boulders and pebbles has acquired over the centuries, transforming into a strip of rock up to 30 meters high, with large masses lying on their top , to act as protective shields. Inside the Reserve, at a height between 400 and 600 meters above sea level, there is a circular route of medium difficulty, which allows you to closely admire the pyramids and erratic boulders which, presumably, in millions of years will become in turn earth pyramids.
