    The Fountains Trail et the Oltrepò Pavese

    The Fountains Trail et the Oltrepò Pavese

    Sentiero delle fontane Oltrepo Pavese

    A beautiful path of fountains winds through small villages, woods and streams at the Oltrepò Pavese.

    This Path is a nature trail of about 7 kilometers in the Alta Val di Nizza.

    You should know that the entire hilly area to the left of the Nizza stream from which the valley takes its name is very rich in active natural water sources.

    A reference area arround the the fountain trail is the small village of Poggio Ferrato , with its characteristic stone houses.
    Not far away, in Casarasco, you can admire the remains of an ancient castle: Rocca di Casarasco’s Castle – once owned by the Obertenghi’s family, nowdays is a private residence – only a sturdy tower remains that still preserves some rooms with the original size.

    In the Monte hamlet we come across the Boiolo spring ; not far away we arrive at the Fontanino spring , while four other springs on this naturalistic itinerary are the Croesa spring , the Calasco spring , the Fracion spring and the Moglie fountain , just below the village of Poggio Ferrato.

    This excursion in the Oltrepò Pavese is quite easy even for those who are not trained, is a nice way to carve out a few hours to get in tune with nature, crossing centuries-old paths, entering pretty villages with ancient charm and admiring the amazing views that the Oltrepò hills can offer.

    There is also a stop to rest for a while, not far away at Panchina Gigante 259 .


    Restaurants and Agritourism

    For the delight of the taste, here are some suggestions.

    The agritourism La Capannina in Casa Schiavo Hamlet has a large indoor and outdoor spaces.
    It offers delicious appetizers such as savory pies, omelettes, bruschetta, cured meats, homemade Russian salad and cheeses with homemade jams, then crepes, fresh pasta and risotto with porcini mushrooms, meat ravioli and lean tortelloni, before moving on to the meat-based second courses. In the cooler months, you can also enjoy boiled meat with mustard, an increasingly rare dish to find. Desserts are never lacking. Before leaving, it is a good idea to stock up on products from the agritourism area.

    The Agriristoro Oranami prepares bread and delicious pizzas in a wood oven, organic cheeses and offers craft beers and much more.
    At the summer you can taste all these delicatessen in the outdoor area, in front of an enchanting panorama.

    For a quick break, you can stop at La Piada Oltre il Blu , in Cascina Croce Piaggi, Località Nizza, Val di Nizza:
    on Sundays for lunch. The “piadineria” is open , with a wide selection of “piadinas” prepared with zero-mile products, with the help of people with cognitive disorders and/or intellectual disabilities.

    Comfortable shoes, hat, backpack and off we go for a new trip out of town on the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese.
    Leave enthusiasm and you will come back even happier!
