Leaving the bay of "Bögn", leave the coast and cross the lake with direction of Loreto island, about 7 km from the bay. Pass the SportAction nautical center where, in case of need, you find various useful services, and head towards one of the most beautiful, fascinating and unmissable hidden corners of Lake Iseo the Orrido or "Bögn" of Riva di Solto, with its wild natural bay with vertical slabs of rocks overhanging the lake which takes on emerald green colors. Proceeding in a southerly direction you arrive in the locality of Grè, famous for its stump quarries. On the opposite side, there is the Corno dei Trenta Passi (1248 meters above sea level) with the imposing rocky walls here Lake Iseo reaches its maximum depth of 251 meters.

Much of this material was donated to American and European museums-including NHMLAC-creating vast collections rooted in colonialism and developed with an outsider’s perspective on the culture. From soldiers and medical workers to employees of companies engaging in resource extraction, many visitors collected cultural material from the local communities. The tapa and woven mat collection at NHMLAC is part of this history.
As European and American government officials, military forces, missionaries, merchants, medical workers, company employees, and other visitors continued their incursion into the area, they forever changed the region. When the Europeans first encountered the islands in Oceania in the 1500s, they often refused (or failed) to recognize these social structures, thus beginning centuries of intrusion into lands and cultures that had been thriving for thousands of years.
