A circular route past historic country houses of German origin through meadows, crops and panoramic views.

A stroll through the peace and quiet of the forests to explore the historic Masi di Grumes area, a hidden corner of the mountains which has succeeded in conserving its original atmosphere dating back to the Middle Ages. The site’s names and toponyms retrace the origins of the farmhouses to German immigration to the Trentino from the 11th to 16th centuries fostered by the Tyrolean lords of Koenigsberg and the prince Bishops of Trento to raise tithes and preside over an important road between the Tyrol and the Adige valley. For around four centuries after their arrival the German farmers of the Masi di Grumes area kept their language and customs alive and left a profound mark on local culture.

This footpath links up the Pinteri, Orion, Noldi, Gaiardi, Giovanni, Todescat, Pojeri, Ferrai and Greggion farmhouses in their amphitheatre of woods and fields.

Starting in the square in Grumes town climb up along the church to the SS 612 road near the Green Grill. Cross the road and start climbing up towards the Grumes farmhouses, passing a historic chestnut grove and continuing to Masi Alti and then descending, after Maso Giovanni, in the direction of the lower farmhouses and returning to your starting point.

The itinerary follows an asphalt road with limited traffic.
