Once you have reached the square in San Rocco, go down a few metres towards Trento to take Via delle Torricelle on the right, then continue up to the villa having the same name. Turn right into the Sentiero degli Aquiloni, a multi-sensory route for sight impaired people designed by the Forestry Department of Trento- Sopramonte. Different parts of the route are equipped with wooden railings, tables with touch and visual information, consolidation and levelling of the footpath, special pavements and other special provisions. The route winds through the sunkissed vineyards of san Rocco and then up the steep slopes of Marzòla, in the woods, through small streams and the remains of ancient landslides for a quite varied landscape. After you have completed the most tiring parts of the route with the help of steps, you reach the top of the first terrace. You can enjoy a superb view of Trento from the hanging rock cliffs among bushes of heather and bearberry, bonsai pine trees and aged junipers. If you are a sensitive person you will be able to notice the different sounds coming from the busy valley bottom and the woods as well as the richness of the vast range of odours and sensorial stimuli of the natural environment. You now continue on an easier wide path following the wood pallets up to the Pian dei Bindesi (620m), a large glade equipped as a rest area with benches, tables, free yard, shaded areas. Close by is the comfortable refuge called Rifugio Prati ai Bindesi and a vast panorama: the length of the Adige Valley, the city of Trento with its surroundings, the highest peaks of the Brenta group. You go back over the same route.
