Explorers for a Day

About the event

A morning to look at nature with new eyes. With small viewfinders, notebooks and secret missions, participants explore the Museo della Carta and the Valle delle Cartiere in search of details, traces and hidden wonders.

The activity concludes with weaving an Ojo de Dios mandala together, to tell the bond with nature through threads and colours.

Devised and led by Carla Zambelli.

Getting to Toscolano-Maderno

The nearest railway station is Desenzano del Garda; from there Arriva bus LN027 (Desenzano – Salò – Gargnano – Limone – Riva del Garda) runs along the Gardesana road through Maderno and Toscolano. By car, leave the A4 at Desenzano del Garda and follow the lake road north via Salò. From the Verona side, the Torri del Benaco – Maderno car ferry is the only road-vehicle crossing of the lake.
