Very nice. It looks so much better than it did years ago.

An old stone dam that diverted water to the fields and mills of the valley. Today, half-covered in moss and roots, it's a quiet corner where time seems to stand still. When the water flows gently, the trees are reflected as if the forest were folded in two. Some of the older residents say that, in dry summers, children used to come here to swim and used the weir as an improvised diving board.
