very scenic hike characterized by frequent ups and downs. It takes place on the ridge that divides the valley from that of the Ebola Lamone, on the right bank of the latter and for most of the excursion you walk on the trail of the underground pipeline several years ago. The icing on the cake for this walk is a visit to the Oak of gudgeon, one of the patriarchs trees Emilia-Romagna. Not being a round trip, you should use more car or as in this case, public transport and in the valley of the Lamone until Barberry, the train is very useful. Massimo and I have chosen to walk towards the sewer, as there is some provision to train more than in San Cassiano, but it is also feasible in the other direction.
leave the station of San Cassiano go right along the road to the village, which is to cross it.
Enorme e bellissima Roverella ( Quercus pubescens ), di certo la più grande della Valle del Lamone,. Alcuni testi la citano al secondo posto, per dimensioni, a livello regionale. Le misure: circonferenza 5,40 m, altezza 27 m, ma soprattutto diametro della chioma 34 m, per cui la figura risulta "più larga che alta" e il portamento imponente, fanno di questa quercia un autentico colosso. Come età dovrebbe avvicinarsi ai 200 anni. |
