The path through the chestnut grove of Drena - Description

Directions

• Start

  Drena - Town Center
  
  From the center of Drena (Piazza Italia), follow the indications for Luch and Malga Campo and continue for about one km until the junction towards “La Casina". Turn right and continue past the old limekiln ("calchera") until the next fork in the road. Take the left road first, leading to the upper part of the chestnut grove. Once you reach the illustrative panel “Cammino dei Ricci” near the second bend, return to the fork at the foot of the hill and take the path not followed previously. At the next fork leave the farm on your left and keep going straight. After about half a km, after the last panel, turn right and follow the path going down to Drena through the woods to return to the starting point of the itinerary.

required equipment

You need to be wearing the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels. What should you take when you go on a hike? What you should have in your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do): water canteen (1L) snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate) First aid kit windproof jacket fleece change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag) make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers hat sun screen sunglasses gloves whistle to attract attention in an emergency emergency telephone number: 112 Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear. And finally... ... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
