Path of the Big Trees fast version starting from Recoaro 1000, very beautiful route through the woods and you can see various lakes. Route suitable for everyone and suitable for when you have little time available.
Departure from the artificial lake parking lot towards Recoaro Mille. Easy but long hike not suitable for people without training, we found cloudy weather that did not show the surrounding peaks. To be repeated later
