The Inn River Valley is not wide, and the narrowest part is less than 100 meters. But the scenery of this valley is really nice. In the deep valley, the banks are shaded by green trees, and the clear river water is happily rushing in the river. Looking into the distance, you can see the snow-capped mountains. The blue sky that makes people intoxicated, the lush trees and grasslands on both sides, the clear river and the majestic snow-capped mountains together form a picture that makes people linger.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not stop Yang Jing and his group from being eager to find treasure. After passing the Martina border station, the convoy accelerated southward.
Yang Jing's nationality has not been changed back yet, so he currently holds an EU passport. He can enter Switzerland, Austria or Italy visa-free.
Gege and his friends hold Schengen passports. Switzerland, Austria and Italy are all Schengen countries, so they can also enter visa-free.
Martina, Nauders and the destination Venosta, these three small towns are only five or six kilometers apart from each other, and are the small towns on the border of the three countries.
Venosta is in the middle of Lake Resia. To get there, you first have to pass through a small town called Resia. It is not quite appropriate to describe this place as a small town. It is more like a village.
In fact, this small village is not the original Resia, but a relocated one. The earlier Resia is now submerged under the lake. And not only Resia, but also the small village of Venosta on the east bank of the central Resia Lake was also relocated.
That's right, there is a lake in the south of today's Resia. This lake is called Lake Resia, an artificial lake built by the Italians in 1950. Before the Resia Lake was filled with water, there was no lake here, only a small river, and Resia was next to this small river at that time.
However, after the reservoir was built in 1950 and began to store water, the two small villages of Resia and Venosta at the bottom of the valley were completely submerged by the lake. Only the bell tower of a church in the small village of Venostar was not submerged because of its height. Now, the upper half of the bell tower stands about 70 meters from the east shore of the lake.
If it is winter, the lake will freeze, and tourists can walk on the ice to get to the bell tower.
But it’s not possible now, because the lake has not frozen yet, so Yang Jing and the others can only stand on the shore and look at the strange bell tower.
"Yang Jing, this is a reservoir. How could it be the hiding place for Nazi treasures? Even if there are, those treasures will probably be discovered by the people who built the reservoir, right?" Gege asked worriedly as she looked at the half of the bell tower exposed above the water.
Her worries were not unfounded. After all, this reservoir was only built five years after the end of World War II. Who knows whether the workers who built the reservoir at that time would discover the treasure buried by the Nazis?
Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, saying: "I don't know about this situation either... Karl, how is the information search going?"
Morris came over with a tablet and said, "Boss, this Lake Resia was definitely built in 1950. The entire reservoir covers an area of only about 6.6 square kilometers, with an average water depth of six meters and a maximum depth of sixteen meters. The source of the lake water is the Adige River, which originates from the meltwater from the snow-capped mountain on the east bank of the lake."
Yang Jing and his team were standing near Venosta, a small village in the middle of Lake Resia. The village was right by the lake, with the lake to the west and a valley to the east. Looking east along the valley, you could see a majestic snow-capped mountain about 15 kilometers away. The Adige River, which originated from the snow-capped mountain, had a small amount of water and flowed into Lake Resia along the valley.
"Boss, considering the depth of this lake, if the Nazis really hid the treasure here, the workers who built the reservoir may not be able to find it. Besides, the treasure is only said to be hidden in Venosta, but we don't know the exact location. So, no one is sure whether the treasure is under the water or in the nearby mountains."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, even if the treasure is submerged under the water, it does not mean that the workers who build the reservoir can find the treasure. Wife, do you still remember that I found the tomb of Wu Zetian where the imperial seal was passed down? Wasn't that tomb submerged under the water but never discovered by anyone?"
Gege nodded, "Then where should we start looking? And even if we find the treasure, how are we going to get it? I see there are quite a few people around here."
