Full description
Sometimes you feel a little lost, not only in the woods but also in everyday life.
Sensory orienteering is a fun way to find your direction, step by step, letting your senses and curiosity guide you.
Among the woods of the Bolognese Apennines, you will learn to orient yourself with a compass, sun and intuition, but above all to slow down, observe and understand where you really are, inside and outside the map.
What we will do
The appointment is at 9 a. m. at the meeting point in Monzuno (BO), in the Bolognese Apennines. We will be welcomed by an environmental guide, ready to transform this day in nature into a journey of discovery within ourselves.
After a brief introduction on the basics of orientation, we will learn how to use a compass, make our own and orient ourselves thanks to the sun. Then, backpack on our shoulders, we will set off on a trek through the woods above Monzuno, alternating challenges, games and sensory trials.
We will have a picnic lunch together and, in the afternoon, we will test ourselves with a treasure hunt: a fun way to discover that knowing how to orient oneself in nature also helps one to do so in life.
We will end the experience at 15: 00, returning to the meeting point. The activity lasts a total of 6 hours.

The experience is suitable for ages 10 and up. Minors may participate accompanied by an adult.
