Walk through a beautiful chestnut grove in search of tasty fruits!
We will tell you the history and legend of the Chestnut trees… in ENGLISH!
Autumn is the best time to walk in the chestnut woods, even more so in the Rezzago chestnut grove, the largest in Lombardy! The paths are covered with a carpet of leaves and the colours of the foliage become warm. We walk on a rather flat mule track with short climbs, and reach the heart of the chestnut grove where we enjoy an ever-fashionable pastime, chestnut and marron picking! The guides will tell us the history of the chestnut and its uses: a fruit that for centuries has been the primary food source for thousands of rural populations, a prodigious tree with 1000 uses including furniture, skin tanning, phytotherapy. We will also observe a rare geological phenomenon the ‘Earth Mushrooms’. WE WILL TALK TO YOU IN ENGLISH, don’t be afraid to put yourself to the test, a great chance to use your English! Packed lunch 🙂
