Italy creates the second EHS refuge zone in Europe

15th September 2010

The second EHS refuge zone in Europe is in the Vena del Gesso Regional Park near the town of Brisighella in the province of Ravenna, in northern Italy. This EHS Zone Refuge is currently the only EHS refuge in Europe apart from the protected living areas in Sweden. The French one has had to be disbanded due to the objections (upheld by the courts) of the landowner.

This project, unique in Italy was started thanks to a private initiative, the Park of Emilia Romagna in the Urban district of Brisighella have made a major contribution to its creation and to publicising its existence. They plan to extend the boundaries of the site of low electromagnetic radiation in the future.

Open since May 2010, it includes a Bed & Breakfast called "The Wolf's Hideaway" (Eremo del Lupo). The building was restored and shielded with anti-EMF insulation, particularly the bedrooms. It has space for five EHS guests. This electrosmog-free B & B is 2.5 km from Brisighella station (Faenza-Florence line, not electrified) and is in the middle of an unspoilt landscape, just next to the Refuge Zone.

The EMF level measured in the marked low-radiation White Zone are below the levels required by the environmental action groups protesting against electrosmog, and the recommendations of independent scientists and the European Community, that is to say below the levels readable by many radiation meters.

Anyone who wishes to visit the first EHS Refuge Zone in Italy can arrange a stay in the Parc de Carnè, which in addition to being a jewel of incomparable natural beauty provides a healthy environment with minimal radiation levels, in which the EHS can safely relax and replenish their resources.
