Cingino Dam
The Cingino Dam is a gravity masonry dam located southwest of Antrona Schieranco, Valle Antrona, Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola in Piedmont, Italy. The dam creates Lago Cingino which is fed by the Antigine and Troncone streams. The reservoir has a surface area of and is maximum above sea level, typically. It is one of five reservoirs within a hydroelectric complex in the Valle Antrona and helps supply the Campliccioli Power Plant with water for power production.
The dam became an internet sensation due to pictures of Alpine Ibex that climb up its steep downstream face in order to lick salt off the stones. A video shared by the BBC's Forces of Nature with Brian Cox has been viewed over 208 million times as of May 2022. Despite the picturesque setting, Atlas Obscura describes the dam as "otherwise unremarkable."
