Escursionismo tour - esperto

Humans have moved through the landscape in the upper Reisa Valley for several thousand years​,​ both on foot and along the river. This traffic and utilisation of the landscape has left visible and invisible traces in the landscape​,​ including place names​,​ relics of culture and fascinating history. These traces portray human adaptation to the landscape and surroundings​,​ cultural diversity and migration of days gone by.
