Trail description

This trail revolves around the theme of threshing fields (small circular patches on the ground for extracting grain, which represent one of mankind's first industrial inventions). The idea is to offer walkers some insight into a traditional farming technique that can only be seen today as part of festive events. The trail is intended to pay tribute to the Island's men and women, especially from these highland areas in the municipality of Fasnia. They were a society of humble farmers, most of whom farmed their small lands to feed the family. It was these farmers who brought the cereal culture to life, as this is what kept their families going in times of great hardship. We hope you will enjoy this trail of remembrance and show respect for the landscape and its people.
