Il “Sentiero delle Orobie” è un’opera alpina lombarda, in Italia, di grande rilevanza storica, naturalistica e alpinistica. Questo magico itinerario è stato inventato e realizzato negli anni 1950-1975 dalla sezione e sottosezioni CAI di Bergamo, sotto la spinta di Carlo Ghezzi, presidente della Sezione dal 1951 al 1962, e l’entusiasmo di Gianbattista Cortinovis che con alcuni collaboratori furono i principali artefici dell’opera.

Description

Hondsrug is a 70 km long Megaflute is the longest ridge in the Netherlands. Megflutes are sand ridges formed by undercurrents of large glaciers. The Hondsrug is the only one of its kind in Europe and was formed during the ice ages. The highest natural point (Haantjeduun) is only 26m. But is goes a long way. Along the way you will encounter many traces of the past during this trip. You can see where the ice ages left their marks. Were mammoths roomed the land. Where battles took place. Where megalithic tombs were build.
