Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Starting point
Gardonè (Predazzo)
Directions

Martín is an absent-minded shepherd who leaves his work tools on the branches, among the roots of the trees and along the roads of the Gardoné pastures...

They say, among other things, he has his "head in the clouds" not only because of his absent-mindedness, but also because of his passion for water and meteorology...

What playbook shall we read today? You could start from the two tales of Martìn and end in a "sweet way" with the tale of little "Pina".

When we speak about "Pina", in fact, everybody licks their chops because they think about her gold...honey!

She will reveal the secrets of her magic and sweet world. Between work tools, a wonderful water mill, games and fantastically shaped hives, reading will be a blast!

You can find the play books of the Absent Shepherd and the sweet little Pina at the Info Point (€ 6,00 cad.) in Gardonè.
