3 of the best wellness itineraries in Emilia Romagna

3 of the best wellness itineraries in Emilia Romagna

The power of nature has incredible effects on psycho-physical well-being and Emilia Romagna, among picturesque villages and quiet valleys surrounded by greenery, one of the most beautiful Italian destinations for wellness tourism. A region where it is easy to enjoy authentic experiences, whether you choose to immerse yourself in history, take advantage of the therapeutic power of the spas or enjoy the renowned cuisine. Wellness tourism in these parts can be found in a thousand ways and it takes very little to unwind, relieve tensions and rediscover deep relaxation. Have you ever tried, after a stressful day, to walk in the woods surrounded by trees and plants or to walk barefoot in the vegetation? The body's response was certainly not far behind, with renewed optimism and an almost forgotten sense of peace. In Romagna there is no shortage of opportunities to indulge in these experiences and, whether for a short weekend or a longer stay, the art of good living can be breathed in every corner. Choosing a destination is not the only essential step in ensuring a wellness holiday. Planning an itinerary in advance is always a good idea. Seeking the support of a local expert, both before and during the tour, is another useful tip to discover hidden curiosities and glimpses of a destination you are getting to know for the first time. A final tip is to think of a slow journey, one that allows you to savour every moment, without the urge to see as much as possible and end up getting tired without appreciating anything.

Trentino-Alto Adige, all the flavour of the mountains, a world heritage site

Trentino-Alto Adige, all the flavour of the mountains, a world heritage site

The region's DNA is a blend of spicy and smoky aromas, a harmonic mixture with German and Austrian gastronomy. You meet simple and tasty dishes that, especially in the South Tyrolean part, become richer in calories to balance the harshness of the Alpine climate. Val di Non apples (such as Golden Delicious, and Red Delicious) are a way of life, as is the wine (and grappa), which through Trentodoc, Teroldego, Marzemino, Gewurztraminer, Enantio, Müller Thurgau, Lagrein and many more, expresses all the best of the culture and economy of this small, large region. A sample of malga butter and you can move on to canederli, a typical first course of Trentino cuisine, made with bread, milk and eggs, spatzle, a different type of dumpling made with wheat and buckwheat flour, and schultzkrapfen (or roffoi), typical South Tyrolean half-moons, filled with spinach, ricotta and potatoes in the cold season, chives in spring. For the main courses, choose the classic beef or veal sausages (batwurst) cooked on the grill or in broth or beer, served with a bread bun, found everywhere in the area (brezel), and a side dish of sauerkraut, without neglecting speck, the area's most representative cured meat, made from salted, flavoured and smoked pork leg, and the Trentino luganega (a long sausage), seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper. Also try Fontal, a cheese made from alpine brown cow's milk, and finally the desserts. If the time is right, you can arm yourself with a goblet of mulled wine - a product of Central European culture, which has become a deep-rooted tradition in the region, with red wine, sugar and aromatic spices - and wander around the markets, sipping the hot beverage and nibbling on typical spiced sweets such as apple strudel, snow stars, stanitzeln, lebkuchen.
