Old Trades Path - complete itinerary

From Grauno, you descend to the Avisio stream, first on comfortable roads, then on trails immersed in a wild and charming landscape. This route was used in past years by the inhabitants of Grauno to cultivate land almost to the banks of the Avisio stream. Notable were also the passages for small commercial exchanges with Sover, Montesover, and Piscine, or purely for friendship or family visits. These contacts ceased in 1966 when a flood swept away the bridge connecting the two banks of the Avisio, and only in 2009, with its reconstruction, were they able to resume (Pont da la Rio). From the small Molini Farm, just across the Avisio stream, turning left you can follow the "Old Trades Path." It is a very evocative path that runs alongside the stream for a long stretch, reaching Maso Pianacci; from here you climb a steep little road up to Piscine. From there you reach Sover by following the dirt road (fitness path) that branches off in the lower part of the village or by following the main road, then descending again to Molini. Crossing the Avisio bridge again you reach Maso La Rio, and continuing, you follow another section of the "Old Trades Path" which allows you to climb back to Grauno. From Maso La Rio you encounter the ruins of mills abandoned since the 1960s; the "blacksmith's forge" recently restored as well as the "Venetian sawmill" located beside the old state road. Further up is the "Cristofori mill", from where you return to Grauno in a few minutes. Unforgettable are the landscape views you can admire along this itinerary.
