Parco Naturale Regionale del Beigua

From the panoramic viewing point in Tiglieto you have an excellent view of the overall morphologic context where the Tiglieto Abbey was built. At the same time, natural fluvial forms and hydraulic engineering works carried out over the years can also be seen. On the underlying level ground you can imagine the original flow of the Torrente Orba which ran along a narrow creek which in geological terms is called a "meander". You can clearly see the (manmade) river opening where the Torrente Orba now flows. You can see another "entrenched meander" form in the rock by continuing another 50 metres by foot along the road towards Olbicella, looking to the right of the rail.
