Sentiero Tanaro: Tappa 5 Priero - Nucetto

The stage connects Priero with Nucetto, among the imposing woods that mark the border between Liguria and Piedmont. Reached Perlo, through the Chapel of S. Anna you go up the soft hills thick with chestnut woods to then go back down into the Tanaro Valley, arrive at the crossroads of the former mine and reach the village of Nucetto. Here the castle, known as "d'Aleramo" (dating back to the 10th century), erected on the mountainous buttress to the left of the Tanaro, can now be visited and offers a broad overview of the territory and the other fortresses with which it was formerly connected: from that di Perlo in Battifollo, Bagnasco, Castelnuovo and Malpotremo. Nucetto is an ancient lignite extraction area, whose history can be traced today in the green area "Le mura della miniera", just outside the village, also equipped with a picnic area. The itinerary was promoted within the platform as part of the PITEM  M.I.T.O. project. – Outdoor OFF - Interreg Italy-France Cross-Border Cooperation Program ALCOTRA 2014-2020.
