The Venetian sawmills
The Venetian sawmills are a characteristic feature on the banks of the Torrente Rabbiés. This ancient water-driven machinery that once was the first mechanical device for sawing tree trunks into planks, today are museum pieces of great interest, which are an important part of the environmental heritage of Val di Rabbi. With great ability, craftsmen from another era, who already had a profound knowledge of technical constructions, perfected the functioning of these sawmills that can be considered masterpieces of mechanical engineering to the present day.
