Hiking Cavagrande

Riding a motorbike driven by Luigi, Luigi and Sara lead us from Solecaldo to Cavagrande.  We parked our car and started the 45 minute hike down this gorge with so many wild herbs and fragrances.  As one arrives at the bottom, there is an oasis of plush vegetation, flowers and small lakes.  The swim in the lakes is energizing and everyone had  a great time.  Hiking back up was not as bad as one had feared and along the way up some visitors we had met at Solecaldo enlightened our ascent explaining detials about the vegetation. In the picture one can see a wild pistacchio plant encountered along the way back.   Certainly an excursion one would recommend to nature lovers.
