By car (Western Gardesana) up to Gargnano, crossroad in direction Magasa, we drive along the Lake Valvestino. After the artificial Lake Valvestino, we cross a small bridge and turn right in direction of the small village of Magasa, characteristic angle of peace; here we can park and face by cycle the last slope until the 1,200 meters of the peak “Cima Rest” or continue by car. 6 Km through small waterfalls of fresh water and larchs. We catch up a tableland where a surprise is waiting for us: a group of Nordic constructions with the straw-roof. They are the ancient hay-lofts where men and animals passed the summer and sometimes the winter. Abandoned for a long time, now they live again thanks to the love of inhabitants of this place, which have reconstructed with great engagement the rural atmosphere of the old peasants. In one of these hay-lofts with the straw-roof (7,500 together-bound faggots) has served the typical native products. (Snack Bar Tavagnù 0365-74067). Tasting these wondeful products we can enjoy the fantastic view towards the Lake Garda. Inside a barn there is an interesting museum of old tools and in the nearness an astronomical observatory. Continuing on foot (2 h approximately), we can reach the alpine pasture “Malga Tombea” and the glacial lake. At the peak Cima Rest we can make a oengastronomic stop at the inn Cima Rest (0365-74054) in order to taste the “polenta Taragna”, the gnocchi of the farmers, but
above all the cheese Tombea a rarity with 7 years of seasoning. An unusual route between legend and nature. From Cima Rest we walk along a path that grazes the Italian fortifications of
the Great War, we walk in the heart of wild nature, until the mount “Monte Tombea” that encloses in a small valley a lake which has encircled from strange heaps of ground which rise spontaneously in constant way. Beautiful is the sight of Lake Idro and Lake Garda. On return way we can make a pause at Cima Rest in order to visit the Museum of the mountain-barn, with tools for the production of cheese. |
