(route B). We reach the &#8220;Lacina&#8221; basin by driving along SP 43 from Brognaturo (VV). Passing a residence and a sports hall on the right, we turn left at the fork that will lead us toward the dam and reach its service buildings located at the end of the paved road. We take the road to the left of the building and leave the car at the west entrance. The dirt road starts just behind these buildings. We begin our walk by going up the small natural-bottomed road and, at the first fork in the road, turn left toward the Lacina basin. At the next fork we continue to the right up the lane that runs along the lake fence. A challenging section begins completely uphill in a forest of first pine, then beech mixed with fir. In about 40 minutes we will reach a paved road just below Mount Circello and defining a T-junction with our direction of travel. We continue to the right and in about 20 minutes we will come to a picnic area with a fountain where we can stop. Having resumed the path, we can opt for two possible solutions for the return journey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43dfcbc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"43dfcbc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00289a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"00289a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-15.55.48-1024x685.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2154\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-15.55.48-1024x685.png 1024w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-15.55.48-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-15.55.48-768x514.png 768w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-15.55.48.png 1346w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bc6d68 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6bc6d68\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1dbc1c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a1dbc1c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be9f13f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"be9f13f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Short route A<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b98770 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4b98770\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mount Trematerra Ring<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec61dc0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec61dc0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After a short stretch, just 5 minutes from the drinking fountain, we will be able to notice a small barracks on the right among the pines.

Alternative energy sources have been talked about for years, and this will be an opportunity for us to see one of them up close. We are talking about wind power, which with its white giants lines the ridge road along which our walk passes as well as many points on the horizon. Wind power is a renewable, clean source that does not need to occupy large areas in addition to allowing the economic revitalization of otherwise marginal areas. The wind farm on the Alaco alone is estimated to supply energy to about 70,000 households. The constant increase of such parks has the consequence of irreparably disfiguring our landscape in addition to the damage it does to birdlife due to the barrier effect that forces flocks to take longer turns during flights and takes away their territory.<br>In any case, supporters or detractors of such energy will not be able to remain indifferent to the impressive advance of this technology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe10d69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fe10d69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">RURAL CONSTRUCTION: \"U PASTILLARO\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61700e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61700e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The chestnut tree, in the past, has been of very high importance as a primary source of food for humans, livestock and wildlife.
