The Verzasca is a game river in the valley of the same name Valle Verzasca, in Swiss canton Tessin. It rises from 2864 m at the high Pizzo of barons and flows first by the semicircular Val Vegorness. The first settlement at the river course is Sonogno (918 m. ue. M.), where the Val Redorta leads into. Then the river flows to the south by a valley with mediterraner vegetation, with vineyards, in addition, schroffen, steep mountain flanks and - toward end of the valley - alpine meagreness. The doppelbogige bridge "Ponte dei Salti" in Lavertezzo is a well-known motive for postcard. Approximately around the bridge in the summer much is bathed, the washing in rock results in partial natural bath tubs. At the same time it is very dangerous in addition,; meanwhile native "Aufpasser" runs at the river along and warns and/or shows, where it is relatively harmless. The Verzasca is also under Paddlern and - with low water level - with divers likes.

Hellbrunn
DonMartini (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: DonMartini.
In 1612, only a few months after ascending the throne, Salzburg's Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems commissioned a country residence to be built at the foot of the well-watered Hellbrunn Mountain. A lover of Italian art and culture, Markus Sittikus commissioned the famous Cathedral architect, Santino Solari, to design a "villa suburbana", a summer residence matching the elegance and spaciousness of the magnificent Italian architecture with which he was so obsessed. Within a relatively short period of time an architectural masterpiece was created just south of the city that remains one of the most magnificent Renaissance buildings north of the Alps: the Lustschloss ("pleasure palace") of Hellbrunn with its spacious park and its unique Wasserspiele (trick fountains).
