If you need any indication of exactly how clean the air is in Folgaria, then look… Lichen and the like only goes bananas and grows like this where the air is purest.
And if you need any indication of how beautiful Folgaria is, then you can look at the following too – all taken on our first day when we first wandered down into town from the hotel…
Traditional dress depicted on a house painting…
Quite possibly the longest town bench in the world? Positioned opposite the church, perfect for wedding watchers!
Do make sure you take time to wander slightly out of town to the Ecken Biotope, which is a beautiful place to spend the fading light hours of an autumn afternoon, and to admire the green hairy stuff in the first picture above…
It is so beautiful there! I’m needing to get out into nature
Thanks so much Elizabeth! Me too! :)
I can only imagine that with air that clear you all felt amazing. Love the colour of that heather! Particularly love that last picture! X
Thanks you! It’s such a gorgeous gorgeous place! :)
Fantastic pictures as ever. You capture the essence of the places you visit so perfectly Emma.
Thanks so much Sarah. Hope all is well xx
Everything in this village seems the right color, the right spot, the right mood. Lovely! That photo of the leaf in water is especially stunning. You have an eye for photography.
Thanks so much Em! :)

HI Emma, thanks for the introduction to Folgaria. Your lovely photos bring it to life and I can seem to smell the crispness in the air. It looks very bucolic and peaceful. That bench must be the longest indeed!
Thanks so much Marisol! :)
Lovely photos, loving that long bench. Wonder if it ever gets full
Thank you Alison, me too! :)
Oh my I want to go I want to go! Every time I read your blog I end up wanting to grab my passport!
Thank you Annie, that’s a huge compliment! :)
Love these images, especially the one of the trees with the light, mesmerizing. I’m with Mari, I want to go there now!
Thanks Amanda! :)
Wow, it looks beautiful. I love the idea of such clean air, and that bench is amazing :-)
The air is incredible, you can feel it! Thank you Emma (: x
Simply stunning, I really want to peek inside that door to find out what’s hiding inside
Thank you! It’s a beautiful church inside. Someone was in there though so I didn’t take pictures! :)
Just looking at the photos I feel I am breathing in pure mountain air. Beautiful.
Now that’s a bench! When we holiday we always look out for a Burgess Bench, most of them are just perfect for the three of us. I think we would be lost on this one!
Well you wouldn’t need to breathe in to squish on! Thanks Trish! :)
Sounds magic.
It is gorgeous Brina. Thank you! (:
So beautiful and that last photo through the trees … amazing! You can almost taste the pure, clean air.
Thank you Rachel! :) xx
