The Ecological Centre "UomoNatura di Acquacalda" was set up in the nineteen eighties to promote initiatives to make good use of Lucomagno's natural heritage, a fine Alpine environment in the middle of ancient mixed forests of silver firs, larches, mountain pines and cembran pines. The offer of weeks of walking without a rucksack is part of this initiative. Footpaths fan out in all directions and lead to a variety of places of great beauty and great natural interest. Acquacalda was included in the list of the most important landscapes in the country and contains an interesting series of geological outcrops among which majestic dolimitic peaks rear up. The counterpart to the multicoloured vegetation, crossed by streams and fast flowing rivers, is the attraction of an Alpine fauna dominated by the golden eagle. Recently, the UomoNatura received a "Trees for Life" award from the Swiss "Natura e economia" Foundation.
Albergo Acquacalda and the campsite in the Cembran Pines
The UomoNatura Centre consists of : The Albergo Acquacalda, a mountain hotel with 40 beds and a restaurant that offers Alpine specialities;
a campsite in the Cembran pines, a delightful small campsite on the banks of the fast flowing river; spaces suitable for seminars indoors and out and a philosophical, Alpine park alonside the gorge of the River Brenno. In the nineteen nineties the centre was rennovated and enlarged and powerful solar power installations, both active and passive, were installed. In 1994, these won the Swiss 'Premio Solare', a prize for projects using solar power. For its innumerable ecological intitiatives in the hotel field, the Albergo Acquacalda won the "Innovations" prize in the Swiss Eco-Hotel Competition of 1995. Among the features exclusive to the Acquacalda is the powerful solar oven which on sunny days can cook a delicious roast chicken or aromatic baked apples.
