Right above the city of Trento is the plateau of Argentario, a richly mineralized area that for almost a thousand years has been affected by
an important mining activity of which many traces have remained: abandoned mines and quarries.
Thanks to the presence of an expert guide, we will explore this unique site on the trail of miners who, for over 1000 years, have searched for precious minerals in this area. During the trek we will interpret the passage that surrounds us, noting the interactions between human activities and nature. In addition, we will go through unique scenarios, such as a bonsai forest!
