Round trip with a visit to the Roccolo del Sauch and a stop at the homonym refuge.
Trekking in the woods towards the "Roccolo del Sauch", an ancient bird catching system but also a fascinating and ingenious plant labyrinth.
Author’s recommendation
The stop is a must inside the Roccolo del Sauch to admire its articulated plant structure. The Malga Sauch is perfect for refreshing yourself while savoring traditional Trentino dishes.

Turn-by-turn directions
Just before the Lago Santo Hut, take the path signposted “Roccolo Sauch”. Continue down the path to the junction with the forest road. Turn right and continue on the latter.
We suggest a stop to read the descriptions on the information board about the "Riserva naturale Lagabrun", which is not far from our walk.
At Pozze, choose the left-hand fork and continue on the pleasant road. Once you reach "Passo della Croccola", your destination is near and in five minutes you will reach Roccolo del Sauch. It is worth getting closer to observe the details, aided by the well-made illustrative panels. The hike continues following the signs for the "Rifugio Sauch", about 10 minutes far from Roccolo del Rauch.
The way back starts on the main street near the "Giardino delle erbe", a garden with medicinal herbs, and continue towards east. Following the forest road, after 1,5 Km you return to the hamlet of Pozze and from there to the starting point, following the outward route.
