Wild Herbs of the Iblei - RG

March 28, 2021
Spring is the perfect season in the Iblei to breathe in the aromas filling the air and to observe the wonders our nature has to offer. The month of March marks the beginning of one of the most vibrant, colorful, and energy-filled seasons, driven by the explosion of countless flowers and scents, accompanied by the chirping of birds and the sound of water flowing from small streams to rivers and finally to the sea. Colors, scents, and sounds—a blend of beauty and harmony that regenerates our souls. Moments in life when you wish time would stand still. Staying true tolocal traditions, this is also the time for gathering wild herbs and greens. Ciaotrekking dedicates this walk to discovering the knowledge and uses of wild herbs that, until a few decades ago, our grandparents used to gather, enriching their dishes with color and fragrance. On this occasion, we will have the chance to savor the sweet and bitter tastes of freshly picked wild herbs. Our love and respect for nature will make today's journey both magical and educational.
