River Experiences
Educational farm
By participating in the courses of the educational farm, you can learn the various techniques for searching for gold in gold sands.
Using the classic manual equipment already in use in ancient times, you can sift the sands of the clear waters of the Orba stream and keep a safe booty.
Animal Watching
Walking through the paths between the biological fields you reach the course of the stream and, equipped with telescopes for daytime vision or a thermal camera for night vision, you can observe wild animals from a distance in complete safety undisturbed in their natural behavior.
The search for gold in the river
Alone, with friends or family, it will be a unique experience and an unforgettable memory to take home, together with the gold you have found!
Historical museum e "Porti d'i barlafìs"
Like other gold-bearing rivers of the Po Valley, the Orba stream has over the centuries been the subject of intense "gold fishing" and in some periods of real industrial crops. Discover the gold of the Orba and its history in the "Cascina Merlanetta" museum.
