Old Craftsmen's Path - complete itinerary
<p>The Old Craftsmen's Path leads to the discovery of the ancient historic route that has connected the two banks of the Cembra Valley since time immemorial.</p>
<p>Due to this connection, marriages were frequent, for example, between families from the <strong>Municipality of Sover</strong> and others originally from <strong>Grauno</strong> and <strong>Grumes</strong>, while the trails leading to the <strong>Lower Adige</strong> (area of <strong>Salorno, Egna</strong>, and <strong>Ora</strong>) allowed seasonal labor transfer through the <strong>Dossone di Cembra</strong>. A route that seemed irretrievably lost following the 1966 flood and is now the focus of a comprehensive recovery program. The walk restores the ethnographic fabric of the upper valley through artifacts and workshops that in some cases operated until the 1950s: kilns for lime burning, which is not easy to find in a geological framework dominated at all levels by Permian porphyry, mills powered by the diversion of important watercourses, and forges where metal and fabrics were worked. The natural component is equally noteworthy. The <strong>Avisio Gorge</strong> in this stretch presents a high naturalness index.</p>
