Tour on the trail il Sentiero dei Vecchi Mestieri – from Grumes - Description

The trail "Il Sentiero dei Vecchi Mestieri": an itinerary full of history and nature and a taste of adventure.
The valley of the brook Rio dei Molino between Grumes and Grauno has a concentration of at least 20 water-powered machines as mills, sawmills and forges, with four rebuilt factories and an exhibition hall dedicated to the water-related crafts. The trail Sentiro degli Antichi Mestieri (Trail of Traditional Crafts) connects these buildings giving the visitors the unforgettable suggestions of a unique environmental and historical landscape. The trail has been developed across the valley Valle dell’Avisio and is divided into two parts: the first part, of historical and ethnographic interest, is located along the brook Rio Molino between Grumes and Grauno, the second part, with a main environmental interest, starts at the new bridge over the creek Avisio between Grumes and Sover and ends in the town of Piscine.
