Cherry and Small Fruits Walk

Walking through the cherry orchards of Marostica

The Cherry and Small Fruits Walk is the non-competitive walk that takes place in Crosara di Marostica, a hamlet in the province of Vicenza. It is an integral part of the historic Marostica Cherry Festival IGP, one of the most characteristic events in the area, dedicated to the famous red fruit that has made the city of chess famous.

Five routes through nature and taste

The walk offers five loop routes of 4, 8, 9, 13.5, and 20 km, winding through the cherry orchards and hills of Marostica. Along the routes, there are refreshment points with direct sales of local agricultural and craft products, allowing you to savor the authenticity of the area while walking. The start is from Piazza San Bortolo, in Crosara.

The Marostica Cherry IGP

The star product is the Marostica Cherry IGP, a variety linked to local history since 1454, when – according to tradition – cherry trees were ordered to be planted to commemorate the famous Chess Game. Today, it represents a European-recognized excellence and the heart of the Cherry Festival.

An event of the Crosara community

Organized by the Crosara Working Group, the walk is an anticipated event in the early June calendar. It combines the passion for walking with the discovery of the agricultural landscape of Marostica, in a festive moment that involves the entire community of the hamlet.
