The story

Once upon a time there was an enchanted wood, and anyone who entered was magically turned to stone, until one day spring came and revealed to everyone the magic of that place... it's a particular place that has always struck me for its peculiar atmosphere, also a little ambiguous, but very beautiful. In summer, when the climbing plants have grown, there will be a majestic effect full of greenery surrounding all the trees and the surrounding ground, seeming like a garden entirely finished by skilful hands. I promise that I'll take a bike ride to this place around July and give you testimony of what I tell you; for now, savour the fairy tale of the petrified forest.

To reach it you take the cycle path on your right at Galleani (along the Chivasso-Gassino road); flanking cultivated fields and rice paddies, you'll come to run alongside the Po, and after a few kilometres, on your right, you'll be able to admire what I described. The route continues and can reach as far as S. Mauro, passing through Gassino. happy travels everyone ventoenuvole
