Melag - Melago: Highest n Most Remote Village - Italy Europe

Post by vicked.vicky » Jan 11, 2009 Views: 2214

Melag, or Melago, in South Tirol, Italy, is one of the highest and most remote villages in all of Europe. Melag is unusual; despite an altitude of over 6,300 feet and being located in the heart of the Alps, this tiny valley is very dry and sunny nearly year round. Artificial irrigation makes it possible to eek out agriculture. And that’s another claim to fame for Melag: the highest artificially irrigated city in Europe.
