Holiday apartment in Beé: Historic Centre and Monte Cimolo

Beé looks both towards the village and the landscape. The settlements of the municipality of Bee lie at an altitude of around 600 metres amid forests.

Historic Centre and Village Character

The historic centre of Bee consists of buildings whose arrangement is reminiscent of rural farm complexes. The oldest building in the historic centre of Bee dates from 1724. The church of S. Croce became the parish church in 1848. This creates a village setting in which not just a single building matters: During a walk, you can take in both the arrangement of the buildings and the long construction history evident in the centre. The years 1724 and 1848 provide two chronological anchors for this building history, while the arrangement of the buildings also provides the spatial reference point for the walk.

Forests, Mountains and Peaks around Bee

The area around Bee is home to Cima di Morissolo and Monte Zeda, both mountains, as well as Pizzo Marona and Cima Tuss, both peaks. Together with the forests and the altitude of the settlements, they create a distinctly landscape-oriented setting for planning your trip. The four mountains and peaks provide a clear natural and high-altitude focus. For those interested in nature, the landscape themes range from the forest setting of the settlements to the mountains and peaks in the area around Bee.

Monte Cimolo and Sentiero delle Coppelle di Bèe
