Teglio walk - San Silvestro - Frascesca spring

Automatically translated

Difficulty: medium
Type: round trip
Walking time: 2 hours
Suitable for families with children

From piazza santa Eufemia - town hall square - take the lane that climbs in a northerly direction (salita san Silvestro), skirting on cobblestone steps the old shelter of Teglio. Having crossed Via Milano, continue past the church of San Silvestro.
After a few hundred meters, the slope increases and you walk along a short stretch on beaten concrete at the end of which, at the fork, you take the dirt road on the left, leaving on your right the road that leads to the locality Masoni.
You continue among wide clearings and wooded stretches with some interesting views of the Tyrolean countryside and, in particular, at the end of a wide grassy terrace, you notice the houses of the Masoni locality .

We then enter a stretch characterized by the presence of old chestnut trees, until we reach the houses of Brigna. The road continues uphill, skirting the lower portions of the Gema meadows. Having gone through two cobbled hairpin bends, you will clip - on the right - the Croce dei Duséi. Leaving the cross on your right, continue for a short distance until you cross the road leading from Gema to the Frascesca spring. At this point, you can choose to continue to your left toward Gemma, or to head toward the Frascesca spring.

When you reach the crossing of a small stream, continue straight ahead at the foot of green pastures, leaving the uphill dirt road to the left. You come to a green metal parapet from which you can see, in all its majesty, Mount Cancano; from this point, you briefly enter a beech forest and the path is accompanied by the gurgling of the Rio stream. After a short while, you reach the Frascesca spring.

Walking a few more meters downhill, you can see a vein of limestone rock that, in ancient times, was worked in the nearby kiln for the production of lime.
