During these paths, children and young people can observe in the room on the ground floor all the phases that lead to the birth of a fish, from the hatching of the eggs to the release of the young in the lake.
The modern and colorful architecture of the structure fits perfectly into the environment and is a magnificent and panoramic location to admire the beauty of the lake and the entire Alpago Basin; the Center is spread over two floors and was built in wood and concrete with the insertion of large windows that overlook the water.
