From the first step the trail is surrounded by a beautiful larch wood with incredible undergrowth.<\/p>\n Along the route there is a thermal water fall and a panoramic point. Both of these points are located a few dozen meters before our goal: the \u201cFonte Pliniana\u201d, one of the 9 thermal springs of the \u201cParco dei Bagni\u201d. The water springs, surrounded by an artificial cave built in the first years of the 20th\u00a0 century, is rich in anti-inflammatory properties and is very suitable for the internal cures. We suggest you\u00a0 drink this water in moderation.<\/p>\n Once you reach the thermal spring, you have to go back the way you came until the starting point.<\/p>\n Along the route it’s possible to walk side by side. On the track there are a lot of benches where we suggest you take a break to look around and\u00a0 admire the colors, sounds and perfumes of the overgrowth; especially on a rainy day. This excursion is walk-able all year round.<\/p>\n From the autumn to the end of the spring along the trail it’s possible to meet one of the protected animals of the Stelvio National Park: the Steinbock.
