Walk - To the Santa Brigida church and the "chestnut route" - Description

Ideal walk that takes us back in time by admiring the ancient farmsteads and enjoying the wonderful view from the little church of Santa Brigida.
Roncegno Terme has been a renowned thermal town since the end of the Nineteenth century, a village of great natural charm preserved until today; it located in a panoramic position in Bassa Valsugana.Downstream of the town, in loc. Ferme, a few minutes from the historic center, there is the sporting center with eight tennis courts, a volleyball and basketball court and, most importantly a 9-holes golf course.
On the Roncegno's hills numerous typical farms dot the slopes as well as centuries-old chestnut trees.
