Ladinia - Mill Valley




Between the hamlets Miscì and Seres there is the torrent Seres. A series o mills are driven by its waters (not in winter though). The mills are there of old (mentioned in archival papers since century XVI). Recently they were restored in order to preserve the cultural heritage and as a stimulus for turism. See more pics (in summertime) here and here.
