Casermure - Lake Gazzi (Group of the Lama)

One of the stones Twin

A fast path is not official a couple of hours there and back, theoretically impossible according to the trail map 1:25.000 of 1999, but under the new "Ceno Valley - From Monte Penna Mount Barigazzo" of 2010, where, however, were rechecked and corrected all the main paths. Obviously not the secondary paths which change from year to year, landslides, changes in location of streams, paths created and moved by the loggers.
door in less than an hour a path 803, through a saddle in between the mountain and Prarbera Prinzera. can also be used as a path connecting to other destinations of the Group of the Lama. From the provincial
Bardi-Groppallo you park on the right, just before the bridge over the Rio Groppo Rose (50 meters before Casermure). There is a small clearing at the beginning of the path.



It starts alongside the creek, along the edge of a disused quarry talc which is on the opposite bank, the path of the old Roman kiln also marked on the Tabula Alimentaria Veleia. Taking care near the exercise areas that are 500 meters after the start of the route, between 830 and 900 meters, you can find several remnants of brick and terracotta roof tiles with scanaluture still made by hand. Continuing
in sight to their left, the taller of the two Twin Rocks (ophiolitic rocks placed on a small wooded plateau).

After exactly 777 meters you start, to 968 meters, we arrive at a triple junction. All lead to the goal but the easiest and simplest is to the left slightly that bypasses the Stone and then begins the ascent through a series of tall beech trees and undergrowth from clean, alternating with small grassy open.
A 1540 meters from the start, 1135 high, it crosses a path that goes from your right into the woods where aa must turn left down a small beginning that should not deceive because the first turn to the right dates back to come out to the first large lawn, where in summer you can meet bardigiani free grazing horses.
should be aware that reached the lawn (2060 meters, 1157 altitude) you turn left leaving what looks like the main trail which actually consists only of wood after only a few hundred meters. The left path is hidden from the grass but as soon take up the path back to the small Boschini visible. It is at this point has been reached in the highlands of the Blade Group, where you can quickly reach several interesting stops always moving between 1200 and 1250 meters above sea level. After about 400 meters in fact the path 803. If you want to return by the same route it is important to store this crossroads from which to begin the trail red and white as well as new signs of provincial signs which I gladly get used to after almost two and a half kilometers Guidance instinctive and "solo".

Complying with the climb to the left of the main path is located approximately 50 meters from a small lookout point where you see the plain, and after another 150 square meters with a a perfect view on the rump of Gora and the Po Valley with a field of view ranges from the low mountains of the Val d'Arda Mount Barigazzo. Continuing towards the Lama
sull'803 missing about 400 meters to Lake Gazzi , which is actually a pond that dries up in summer in the middle of a large meadow summit, attended by shepherds grazing ancient times as evidenced by the stones and semi-chipped which can be found easily along the edges, used for the construction of rudimentary drills with spears and arrows.
