Culture in the Val di Non along La Strada del Vino e dei Sapori del Trentino (the Road of Wine and Flavours of Trentino)
The Val di Non is a land of ancient traditions and flavours: it is crossed by the Strada del Vino e dei Sapori del Trentino... a food and wine route, and much more, which will allow you to discover the culinary and cultural treasures of our land. The main stopping places along La Strada della Mela e dei Sapori (the Road of Apples and Flavours) in the Val di Non are: Rumo, Coredo, the Altipiano della Predaia, Ronzone, Malosco and Fondo. Here, many agriturs and alpine dairies, easily reached along hiking or bike routes (but also by car), will allow you to taste local products such as fresh milk from the alpine dairies, cheeses with herbs, honey and honeydew honey.
Culture in the Val di Non comes from the land. During your holiday in Trentino at Blumenhotel Belsoggiorno, you should taste the apples, cheeses such as Trentingrana, Casolet and Monteson, or smoked Mortandela (a type of sausage) supported by Slow Food. Your journey of flavours should continue with traditional cakes such as Brezdel (a sort of madeira cake) and apple strudel. One of the dishes of the Val di Non that you absolutely must taste is Tortel de Patate (potato pancake).
The "Giardino della Rosa" (Rose Garden) in Ronzone
The garden will offer visitors an educational trail, featuring all the species and varieties of roses from all over the world, with over 400 flower varieties, totalling 12,000 rose beds. Thanks to its botanic roses, ancient roses, over 40 varieties of native Alpine roses, along with bulb plants, perennial flowered meadows of a thousand colours, combined with the beauty and scenic location of the garden (set on a beautiful terrace overlooking the entire Upper Val di Non), the "Giardino della Rosa" Rose Garden will be a unique spectacular sight.
Visitors can admire climbing roses along a 400 metre long bower running around the entire perimeter of the "Giardino della Rosa", which is rather regular in shape. But the real heart of the garden will be a huge lawn at its very centre, which will host events, art shows, cultural performances, outdoor conferences and educational projects, etc. The "Giardino della Rosa", in fact, has been designed not just as a static display, but as a venue whose appearance will change with the seasons and the many events held there.
