These unexplored places are simply undiscovered treasures. Jewels that have not been cut to expose the beauty that lies underneath. Don’t follow the crowds, get off the beaten track and explore for yourself. You will be glad you did.
1. Lago di Viverone: silence is golden
Beauty can be found in silence. One does not have to have noise to enjoy a site. Sometimes just walking the shores of a lake or the ocean in silence is enough to bring out the real beauty of a locale. See the rising sun on your shoulders as you walk the shores in peace and quiet, view the dawn’s first rays as they hit the surrounding mountains. The beauty of this lake will astound you as you view it in silence.
