Sound paths - "Fin en do che pesta le vache" Manez variant
Do you hear the sound of the cowbells? They are the cows, the true queens of the green and unspoiled pastures of the Brenta Dolomites.
This unusual and arduous variant, which could not be avoided, was walked during the difficult years of the military occupation of 1917. Fearless and tireless, they traveled the slopes to avoid descending to the valley floor.
Sound points:
- Larzana
- Malga Brenta Bassa
- Malga Montagnoli
