La Diga di Ridracoli

About

Nestled in the heart of the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, the Diga di Ridracoli is a marvel of modern engineering that not only provides potable water for the Romagna region and San Marino but also offers a spectacular landscape for visitors. Surrounding the dam is a sprawling lake that invites canoeing, boat tours, and e‑bike adventures, while the nearby Idro Ecomuseo offers interactive exhibits that explore the life of water and the history of the dam’s construction. The visitor experience starts with a walk through the tranquil waterfront, where you can admire the sheer scale of the granite arch and learn about the dam’s role in regional water supply. After exploring the museum, guests can rent an e‑bike or hop on a guided boat tour that showcases the surrounding forests and the lake’s crystal‑clear water. All visitors can access the dam and the museum with a single daily ticket, while special offerings such as a family package and discounted pricing for children and seniors provide an inclusive experience for groups. Additionally, the boat ticket is available for purchase online or at the on‑site shop, allowing flexibility for both day‑trippers and seasoned adventurers. With its enviable blend of engineering heritage, natural beauty, and engaging educational displays, La Diga di Ridracoli offers an unforgettable destination for families, nature enthusiasts, and history lovers alike.
