Open Air Gallery: art in the open air in Drena
<p>Lots of different unexpected installations, objects and splashes of colour which transform the woods into an open air art gallery</p>
<p>There are two trails you can take, the Sun Path or the Moon Path, which cross in the woods and are dotted with works of art which blend into the landscape. Animals, fantastic objects, and colour bring to life a world where imagination rules.</p> <p>The idea behind this trail is this: archaeologists are always looking for traces of peoples from the past in an attempt to reconstruct their identity, culture and history through their crafts and objects. The Open Air Gallery aims to be a sort of <strong>“archaeological site of the future”</strong>, a work of art and crafts which can be interpreted by our descendents</p>

Equipment
You need to be wearing the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.
What should you take when you go on a hike?
What you should have in your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do):
- water canteen (1L)
- snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
- First aid kit
- windproof jacket
- fleece
- change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
- make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers
- hat
- sun screen
- sunglasses
- gloves
- whistle to attract attention in an emergency
- emergency telephone number Mountain Rescue 112
Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains.
When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear.
And finally...
... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
