Queen GardensPhoto: fototeca ApT Madonna di Campiglio Pinzolo Val Rendena, APT Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Val Rendena
Amazing excursion on gravel tracks and easy rocks on the foot of Pietra Grande mountain. Interesting geological and botanical aspects along the path.
The "Orto della Regina" (Garden of the Queen) is one of the most stunning natural terraces of the entire Brenta Group, so named because legend has it that a queen and her entourage came here and planted flowers and shallots. It is famous not only for this legend, but also for the fact that there are a number of boulders with some amazing fossils.
