Paleontological Museum of Roncà
This museum is part of the museum system of the Lessinia Regional Natural Park. It was established in 1973 to enhance the particular geological characteristics of the area and, above all, the deposits of fossils discovered near Roncà and its hamlets, from where important archeological finds come such as those of Cenozoic molluscs.

In the vicinity of the museum, a nature trail has been created through the picturesque Val Nera. Along this route one can admire numerous small waterfalls and water jumps, with bases formed from columnar basalt, a black coloured rock. This area represents the eastern part of the Lessinia Regional Nature Park, offering interesting geographical, faunal and floral features. The path allows you to visit the main paleontological areas of the area, crossing land cultivated with olive trees, vines and cherry trees, typical crops of the Roncà area.
