Dragon Trail - Vaia Dragon Regeneration - Start from Gionghi hamlet
<p>Snowshoeing to discover the largest wooden Dragon in Europe</p> <p>Work created by the Venetian sculptor Marco Martalar in the locality of Magrè</p>
<p>Forged from the ashes of the Vaia Dragon, the new dragon has returned to Lavarone!</p> <p>With its 6 tons of charred wood, 16 meters long and 7 meters high, it is the largest wooden dragon sculpture in the world. Made from the roots of the Vaia storm, it carries the memory of what happened to its predecessor. The pieces of wood are completely carbonized, deliberately burned by the artist Martalar and combined with the remains of the fire, they recompose the new work. The work has a less gentle connotation than the previous Dragon because it must also tell something different. This new Dragon is not only a guardian reminding the relationship between humans and nature, but it is a keeper of memory, stories, a symbol of rebirth and resilience where we humans should always remain humble before mother nature.</p> <p>From the Gionghi hamlet, follow the signs for Magre Tablat and once you reach the Enchanted Den follow the signs for the Dragon Trail (route of about 45 minutes).</p>
