825 - Carbonare - Cùeli

Exciting hike along the Astico torrent to the ancient village of Cùeli. It takes place in a beautiful forest environment, amidst suggestions of nature and history.

Water is the theme of this trail, the water of the Astico torrent. And water truly accompanies us, and for a long stretch, on the path dedicated to it (the 'Water Path'), a beautiful thematic path with illustrative notice boards that leads from Carbonare to the tiny Cùeli farmstead where, among the ancient houses and the millstones of its hydraulic mill, the Cùel mill, time seems to have truly stood still. The coolness of the torrent, the broad-leaved and resinous woods that envelop us, the narrow gorge between high rock walls (the 'Spèr') that we cross on our mountain bikes, the pools, waterfalls and the tiny hamlet that welcomes us give us a new dimension of time, a dimension that smacks of silence, nature and history.
