Trekking of the ancient lakes

<p>A 3-day trekking through the silent forests and precious nature reserves of the Alta Val di Cembra and the Monte Corno Nature Park. An immersion in an environment still intact and waiting to be discovered.</p>

<p>The proposed path leads you to the discovery of something special, something unusual. You will not encounter rock towers or inviolate peaks, but something smaller and perhaps less conspicuous, but just as precious. You will be surrounded by the forests that separate the Adige Valley from the Cembra Valley; an area that straddled two worlds even in Roman times. You will encounter witnesses of the past and present of this mountain, first and foremost the peat bogs, ancient lakes of glacial origin where the peat has progressively reduced the water surface, creating an environment incredibly favourable to biodiversity. In addition, there are mills and boundary stones that narrate forgotten events. </p> <p>The route begins in Pochi di Salorno in the Adige valley and climbs up to Dossone di Cembra, following the whole of the ridge in a pleasant up and down route as far as Rifugio Malga Monte Corno, before descending to Cauria and returning to Pochi di Salorno.</p> <p>We recommend this hike in autumn, when the forests of the upper Cembra Valley turn yellow and red.  </p>
