Visit Val Camonica
Val Camonica is found to the north-east of Lago d'Iseo, in central Lombardy.
The valley of Val Camonica is pretty in its own right, at least in its upper stretches, with the valley attractively set in the low mountains of the region, but it is above all for the prehistoric rock carvings that many visitors visit the area.
In total 180,000 carvings line the valley below Capo di Ponte, dating from the neolithic times to the early Roman era.
The best carvings of all are those found in the Parco Nazionale delle Incisioni Rupestri at Capo di Ponte, although there are some very high quality carvings to discover in the valley outside the park as well.
When you tire of admiring carvings, there are many beautiful walks in the valley - much of Val Camonica is now a UNESCO protected zone.
