5 - Tour of the Pineta
<p>The Pineta (pine forest) is the area immediately above the town of Folgaria, on the medium-high slope of Monte Cornetto. A discrete presence of Scots pine justifies its name. Pines and meadows frame the sports ground and tennis courts. The walk, which is easy, is also suitable for families with children over the age of 6.</p>
<p>A short, pleasant walk takes us immediately into a cool, shady forest environment. Having passed the first stretch on a medium climb, we come out onto the municipal road connecting the village of Costa (a suburb of Folgaria) with the Pineta sports area. Continuing in the indicated direction, we reach the sports field (in the restaurant-bar area), a place dominated by the peace and beauty of the meadows and woods that frame the area.</p>
