Walk from Lisignago to the S. Leonardo church - Description

Short walk through the vineyards of the Cembra Valley on secondary asphalted roads; interesting itinerary in terms of landscape and culture
The itinerary allows you to enjoy a wonderful view from the panoramic hill just below the town of Lisignago, where the small church of San Leonardo stands, with its valuable fifteenth-century frescoes inside. The antiquity of the church, the vineyards and the Avisio river offer a magical atmosphere of silence and sacredness.
