The small village of Venosta is located on the east bank of the middle part of Lake Resia. Its altitude is only slightly higher than the lake surface. It is considered to be the area with the lowest altitude in the vicinity. Naturally, you can't see anything from here.
Yang Jing looked at the two mountains beside him, pointed to the mountain on the south side of the valley and said, "I think we can drive up there, let's go up and take a look. It's too low here, and we can't see anything except the lake."
As he spoke, Yang Jing walked towards the car and sat in the driving seat himself. Then, after Gege got in, he started the car and drove along the narrow winding mountain road to a viewing platform halfway up the mountain.
This viewing platform is a slightly flat open space, about 100 meters higher than the lake surface below. To the east of the platform is the narrow Lake Resia, and to the north is the upper reaches of the Adige River.
The Adige River is the second largest river in Italy, but here, the Adige River, which has just flowed out of the snow-capped mountains, is not much bigger than a small stream.
The cool river water flows continuously into Lake Resia along the river channel. To the south of Lake Resia, there is an artificial dam. Then about 1.5 kilometers south of the dam, there is another lake called Haider. That lake is much smaller than Lake Resia. Standing here, you can clearly see these two almost connected lakes.
From the information that Maurice just found, the explanation of these two lakes on Wikipedia is the source of the Adige River.
Climb high and see far! This saying couldn't be more appropriate here.
When I was standing in the small village of Venosta just now, I could only see the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the nearby lake. Now I drove to this viewing platform, and I could see the surrounding area of several kilometers clearly. From here, I can not only see Resia on the north shore of the lake, but also the small town of San Valentino-Alamuta between Lake Resia and Lake Heidel, as well as the scattered RV camping sites around the lake.
Although the high mountain to the west of Lake Resia looks a bit deserted, the cable car on the mountain proves that the mountain is also a ski resort. When heavy snow comes, it will definitely be a very lively place.
Generally speaking, the scenery here is also very good.
Facing the slightly cold wind, Yang Jing tightened his collar, then quietly activated the "Sky Eye" skill and began to slowly scan the entire lake and the valleys around Lake Resia.
There was nothing unusual in the small town of Resia in the north, nor in the small village of Venosta at the foot, and in the valley within sight, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
When Yang Jing set his sights on Lake Resia at his feet, a faint red light quickly caught his eyes.
This red light made Yang Jing happy. Obviously, there were indeed treasures hidden under this lake. Perhaps the value of these treasures was not very high, so this light seemed a little dim. But Yang Jing could tell that this color of red light actually represented the natural treasure light emitted by precious metals.
The location where the red light came out was in the lake west of the small village of Venosta. Obviously, the Nazis at that time most likely hid a batch of precious metals in this remote mountain village. However, it is estimated that the Nazis probably did not expect that this remote mountain village would become a reservoir after the war, and around the reservoir, a thriving tourism industry and skiing sports would develop.
The princess beside him had been paying attention to Yang Jing. When she saw a faint smile on Yang Jing's face, she asked in a low voice, "Yang Jing, did you find anything?"
Yang Jing slowly retracted his Sky Eye, turned his head and nodded to his wife, and whispered: "The Nazis should have hidden a batch of precious metals under the lake. I have determined the general location, but I still need to investigate the lake bottom to see what the situation is like and whether the precious metals can be recovered."
After staying here for about ten minutes, the group drove down the mountain again and drove directly into the small village of Venosta. They then found a bar that was still open and walked in.
Venosta is a small town built on the hillside, so even though the village is small, the height difference is quite big. The bar that Yang Jing and his friends entered is located in the center of the village.
After entering the bar, Yang Jing and his friends found that there were not many customers in the bar. There were only two middle-aged men drinking on a sofa near the window in the corner of the bar. They seemed to be tourists.
When Yang Jing and his group walked into the bar, the bar owner's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Hey, guys, welcome to Stadler Bar. What kind of drinks would you like? My bar has the most complete variety of alcoholic beverages in Venosta." The owner of the bar was a white man in his fifties. After seeing Yang Jing and the others, he greeted them enthusiastically in slightly unfamiliar English.
Although the area near Lake Resia belongs to the northernmost region of Italy, Trentino-Alto Adige, most of the residents here do not speak Italian, but German, which is the official language of this area.
"Hi, hello, my friends and I want to taste the best local wine. Can you recommend one?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.
"Aha, sir, you're right to ask that. We at the Stadler Bar have the best gin around here, as well as strong fruit liquor that's been distilled. Hey, try our unique raspberry liquor, I guarantee you'll want a second one after the first one. Well, if you don't like the taste of raspberry liquor, we also have strong apricot liquor, pear liquor, apple liquor, and plum liquor. Our apricot liquor, in particular, is the best liquor in Austria and even northern Italy. Of course, we also have wine and ice beer. I think there's always one that suits your taste." The boss seemed to be a chatterbox and talked incessantly.
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand at the guys behind him and said, "Except for the one driving, everyone else can drink as much as you want. It's my treat."
"Haha, the boss is treating me, I have to drink well. Boss, give me a bottle of apricot wine. I have heard that the apricot wine in the Alps is wonderful. This time I can finally drink it well."
"Boss, I want a dozen cold beers."
"Give me a bottle of raspberry wine..."
These bodyguards are the type who can drink a lot without getting drunk. Now that the boss is treating them, they all start ordering drinks with a smile on their faces.
Yang Jing and Gege sat together. They ordered a glass of low-alcohol gin and a glass of strong cider, and slowly tasted them while sitting at the bar.
Of course, Yang Jing went to this bar not just to drink, he needed to get some information. And the bar has always been the best place to get information.
