“AT DONKEY’S PACE” ROUTE

27

The route is about 4 km long, physically

nondemanding, since it is almost all on level

ground. It starts from the parking lot in Via

Stazione, passes through the town centre

and continues along the stretch of the cyclepedestrian

path which runs along the old

railway, until it reaches the sports field. In

this area you can often see donkeys which

are typical of Amaro and were once used

to carry loads on mountain tracks. In the

permanent pastures before the entrance to

the Amaro countryside, called the lots (1),

there are numerous rare spring ophrys orchids.

Crossing the “Boscut di Serio” (2) wood, you

are welcomed by squirrels, dormice and green

peaks moving among poplars, ash trees and

maples. You will also find a wide variety of

edible herbaceous species such as dandelions,

hops and the bladder campions or other

herbs such as wild garlic and garlic mustard.

Along the wooded path, among Scots pines,

hazelnuts and acacias, it is not uncommon

to meet hoopoes, pheasants and woodcocks.

The whole walk is dominated by the majesty

of Mount Amariana (1906 m), whose peak can

be reached through path no. 414 of the Italian

Alpine Club (CAI) that starts from the upper

part of Amaro.

Continuing your walk, you come to a stretch

of paved road that leads to the pond of the

old Rainis Mill (3), now in ruins, where you can

find various species of birdlife such as the

red-crested pochard, cormorant, kingfisher

and nightingale. In these environments, it is

not uncommon to encounter blooms of marsh

gladiolus and yellow flag iris; the ichthyofauna

is composed of trouts, chubs, carps and

shrimps. Continuing on the road, pass by the

votive altarpiece of Our Lady of the “Çoc” (4),

reach the end of the route and, through the

underpass of the former railway, meet the Fella

River on one side and, on the other, the road to

Campiolo, a stretch of the Romea Allemagna,

from which you can see the Favarinis Stream

waterfall (5). Among the sparse grassland, you

can find sea buckthorns, willows and Scots

pines and, swimming in the streams, marble

trouts, brown trouts and graylings.

The difference in height of the route is minimal

and the travelling time is about 60 minutes.

The route is suitable for everyone; people with

reduced mobility may find it difficult, as most

of the route is not asphalted.
