Dragon Path - Vaia Dragon Regeneration - Departure from Parco Palù
<p>Artwork created by the Venetian sculptor Marco Martalar in the locality of Magrè</p>
<p>Forged from the ashes of the Vaia Dragon, the new dragon has returned to Lavarone!</p> <p>With its 6 tons of charred wood, 16 meters in length and 7 in height, it is the largest wooden dragon sculpture in the world. Made with the roots from the Vaia storm, it carries the memory of what happened to its predecessor. The pieces of wood are completely charred, deliberately burned by the artist Martalar who, combined with the remains of the fire, recompose the new work. The sculpture has a less gentle character than the previous Dragon because it also has to tell something different and distinct. This new Dragon is not only a guardian as a warning about the relationship between humans and nature, but it is a keeper of memory and stories, a symbol of rebirth and resilience where we humans should always remain humble in front of mother nature. To reach the thematic route "Dragon Path," start from Parco Palù - Cappella hamlet and follow the signs for Magrè Tablat. The route is suitable for families, winding through Tablat, a flat area above Magrè, for about 2.5 km.</p>
