Apresentação geral
Laurel Highlands
Architecture, waterfalls and high wooded plateaus southeast of Pittsburgh.
To understand what Laurel Highlands is, you need to look at Fallingwater, Ohiopyle State Park and Kentuck Knob. These places give you a view of a territory marked by forests, mountain reliefs, heritage and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Ver tudo
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: changing weather in altitude. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Uma seleção para começar a sonhar e organizar a estadia — não uma lista exaustiva de tudo o que há para ver.
Place indismissible
Fallingwater
Fallingwater remains a strong reference where Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture seems to flow in the fall rather than above. The house materializes a continuity between home and nature, more radical than one imagines in its external form. When visiting it, each room recalls the desired proximity to water.
Nature and landscape
Ohiopyle State Park
Ohiopyle mixes rapids of the Youghiogheny, ancient railway tracks converted into itineraries and views of the waterfalls. According to the schedule, one goes from a contemplative walk to a more sporty exit into the river. The park gives a multiple reading of the gorges without forcing performance.
Place indismissible
Kentuck Knob
Kentuck Knob, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is based on simple lines and a clear natural insertion into Stewart Township's landscape. The volumes show a modernist house facing the horizon, without any spectacular volume effect. The visit is better read in the relationship between interior geometry and relief.
