This is the first 2022 forest bathing event in the Appennino tosco-emiliano. National park

Program

The old “casa cantoniera” (roadman’s house), not far from pass Cerreto, on the Lunigiana side, is a popular starting point of hikes in the surroundings. We will insetad use the place as our meeting point for a forest bathing experience. We will descend through the forest and develop our activities between forest and clearings, in a short round itinerary. We will carry our our experience in relation to the conditions of the moment. .

Meeting point. At Casa Cantoniera, 10 a.m., Sunday August 21 , 2022

What to bring. Practical and informal clothes, adequate to temperature and weather conditions. The activity will be rather static, so stay warm. Small backpack or bag, with your personal belongings; avoid bulky things, that may be an obstacle. You can bring a small mat or pillow to sit on the ground, but not bug mats, that can be uncomfortable to hold. Insect repellant. We may enter inside a true forest, although not far from the main trail. So the contact with plants will be possible and, for the ones who will go deeper inside the forest, it will be possible to encounter rough terrain, fallen branches and steeper and slippery stretches.

For a more complete stay. All of us have lot of commitments and this specific period also leave us with lot of doubts. The places where we will go are however waiting for you and would be glad to embrace you also beyond this experience, to establish a lasting alliance. So, within your availability, try not to be hurried, and stay longer, maybe to eat sleep or rest, in some of the friend structures of this experience, listed at the bottom of this post.
