San Marino. On 9 October, appointment with the Walking Day
The association of hikers “La Genga” organizes a walk that will take place in San Marino next October 9th.
The Walking Day is a national event promoted every week in the second of October by FederTre for the dissemination of the culture of walking through the involvement of citizens, the world of associations and local administrations. This year falls on the date of October 9th. Everyone is invited to walk together or alone and it is possible to find many initiatives. Among those of the San Marino Hikers Association “La Genga”.
All the people who are in the area of the find in the morning 8.30 at the parking of the elementary school of Serravalle (via Marino Moretti) from where you will leave for a walk between Laiala and the Ausa park.
Return to the cars at around 12.15. The usual breakfast will be served by Genga along the way. The requested contribution is 3.00 euros.
The route is easy, for a length of about 7.5 kilometers, with initial ups and downs.
Lightweight hiking shoes are recommended. No reservation needed.
Walking is not just a healthy habit that is good for the body and spirit. The adherents of the Genga who walk is also a civil commitment. A natural gesture that has the potential to trigger a virtuous cycle for a new lifestyle that makes the use of the car marginal and contributes to sustainable development.
Walking is the only effective zero impact activity and when you stop somewhere, you leave it cleaner than you found it.
On foot you take a mysterious path, climb a peak, enter a forest letting yourself be regenerated by the feeling of well-being that it infuses, with its sounds, scents, deep emotions.
Discovering San Marino by walking is a unique emotion. Almost unexplored woods, fields, wild clearings, ancient paths buried in the greenery. Gorges, ditches, gullies, gorges, clearings. No cars go by, there are no houses, only hedges of brambles, herbs and wild fruits. It sounds incredible, but it’s San Marino. A truly special San Marino, which only a few admire, love, respect and rediscover by crossing it strictly on foot. To then tell it to others and also in this way promote love for our country.
