The Sources

The bread itinerary extends in an area particularly rich in water, with abundant springs and fountains that provide the hikers several drinking sources. In the past fountains were the sole sources of water supplies for the village, where both men and animal drank. They also were aggregation spots, where women met to do the laundry with lye and where they exchanged information and chatted about the goings-on of their lives.

Along the itinerary, besides the many fountains and springs, there are many panoramic area with view of the village of Trentinara, of the thick vegetation of its mountains, and the plain of Paestum and its sandy shore. There also are finds of industrial archaeology, like the remains of the Roman aqueduct and the “Calcare”; circular stone structures where, through well-established techniques, lime was produced.
