Hello dear friends
If you haven't seen me posting these days, it's because I've decided to take a bit of a break from social media, sometimes a bit of relaxation is needed, especially in my case I have a very demanding job, so when I find a free weekend, I take advantage of it to have some fun, you have to do this in life too, you can't just live for work.
So I decided, together with a friend of mine, with whom I have a long friendship, to spend this weekend in the mountains, and I chose to go to Mezzano di Primiero, which is practically surrounded by the beautiful mountains that are the Pale di San Martino, which I think almost all of you know, if you have been to Trentino Alto Adige.
So the first day I was in this beautiful hamlet, I decided to go for my usual walk, as usual, so I could take a few photos to share with you here, and certainly the first thing I noticed about this hamlet is that wood is a very important material for building houses, but also for fueling the heating system that is used here until summer, and even though it was spring and therefore the days are milder, it was still quite cool during the day.
In this adventure of mine, I have also brought along my sister's dog, whose name is Mimì, I have never understood what breed she is because I think she is a crossbreed, but she is about seven years old, and every now and then I take her with me on some trips, because she is a very curious dog, and so I like to let her discover new places to see.
After making the first patrol of this beautiful village, which as you could see from the first photos is a very evocative place with a rich history and a strong culinary tradition, but The luck is that it is immersed in a breathtaking natural landscape give and then the adventure, we headed for the hotel we had booked, a hotel equipped with every comfort, can even the Wellness corner that is very important to relax in the mountains.
But we arrived very hungry, and so we already had the famous cheeses that are produced here, which are of a soft dough but with a strong flavour this as an appetiser, then I as usual ate some very good canederli, which is a traditional dish from Alto Adige but also from Trentino, and is a sort of bread ball served in broth, although these were enriched with delicious speck, which is also produced in these areas, a dish from my point of view nutritious and certainly ideal for tackling the cold winter mountain weather.
Then they also brought us a varied platter of cured meats, which are strictly produced here in the area, and which were really good, you can really taste the difference of the speck produced in these areas, because it tastes different from the classic speck you find in the supermarket.
Then we took another little stroll around Mezzano di Primiero, to see if there were any interesting shops, but unfortunately many were closed, because this year, due to the lack of snow, the winter season was a bit of a disaster, in fact I must say that there weren't many tourists around, and for the summer they are already sold out, so that's a good sign.
We took a little walk here by the river, which is the main protagonist of this valley, as well as the beautiful view from here of the beautiful mountains.
The next day, after having recharged ourselves with an excellent breakfast, and having tasted some excellent jams prepared by the owner of the hotel, we headed towards Lake Welsperg also called by the Trentino people Lake Valbruna a beautiful lake which is about 1. 600 metres above sea level, a very picturesque and quiet place, in fact there was practically no one there, this was ideal for a walk and a little nature excursion, in fact, the beauty of this place is that on its shores you can find small beaches where you can sunbathe or have a nice picnic, Mimì loved this place but was so afraid to get into the water, also because it was very cold for bathing, I have to mark this place for the summer when it's so hot.
When we got back to the hotel, we took our last few hours here in Trentino to relax as best we could, and to be in top shape for my job, so I did some Sound and some healthy relaxation in the hotel's wellness centre, which I must say was very much appreciated and very nice where I was able to recover my energy as best I could, but unfortunately like all good things they always last for a short time, but I will certainly find the time to go back sooner or later because I had too good a time in that place there.
Thank you for reading my post on this beautiful weekend I had, I hope I did not bore you and I hope you enjoyed my photos, this week I will return with my classic posts on villages and other places I have already visited, I wish you all a good day and many good things!
