The Queen of Autumn – The Chestnut

We will go into the forest in search of chestnuts and relive the slow rituals of the past. We will have breakfast (packed lunch provided by the participants) in the forest, among the thousands of autumn colors of the chestnut leaves, in front of a lit fire, and we will learn to recognize chestnuts and the techniques for collecting the fruit of the “bread tree”.

 

The walk with THE DONKEYS in tow (which will be ridden in turn by the children) is suitable for everyone 🙂(takes about 30 minutes). At the end of the day, all the children will be given a “Donkey Driver’s License”.

 

N.B.: Participants can take home all the chestnuts they have collected (collection has no limit).
