Segheria Veneziana di Ortisè

It stands between Ortisè and Menas, two hamlets of Mezzana on the left side of the Val di Sole, along the Rio Valletta, which rises from the Lago di Ortisè. A complete reconstruction of the stone and wooden structures and of the mechanisms has put it back into operation, driven by the force of the stream's water like the sawmills that have worked for centuries in the Alpine valleys. It can be visited on four levels: at the top the saw, where the logs go in and the planks come out, on the two intermediate floors the faithfully reproduced gears, and at the bottom the turbine that drives everything.
