Sentiero della Noce: An Immersion in the Tradition of Bleggio Superiore
The “Sentiero della Noce” (Walnut Path) is a pleasant circular hike in the heart of Bleggio Superiore, an area rich in history and traditions linked to walnut cultivation. Starting from Santa Croce, this approximately 9.6 km route winds through rural villages, country lanes, and lush walnut groves, offering an authentic experience in contact with nature.
Along the way, you can admire ancient villages such as Bivedo, Cavrasto, and Balbido, each with its own charm and history. You will discover how walnut cultivation, once flourishing, has been recovered thanks to the commitment of the Confraternita della Noce (Walnut Brotherhood), which has obtained Slow Food Presidium recognition for the Bleggiana variety.
