Sigmund Freud fell in love with this Alpe Cimbra edge and used to go on holiday there. We retraced Freud\u2019s steps and discovered landscape, tradition, flavours and green experiences not to miss in Lavarone.<\/h2>\n

Freud considered holidays as a sacred moment of his life. The well-known Austrian psychoanalyst rejected the well-paid requests of his patients and used to travel to Italy in order to discover new landscapes and points of view. He loved mountains, he visited the entire region of Trentino<\/a><\/strong>, but his favourite destination was Lavarone<\/strong>. Among the most beautiful conifer woods<\/strong> and the crystal-water lake<\/strong>, the founder of psychoanalysis spent his holidays three times. During some \u201cbright days\u201d he has also written one of his most important work called the \u201cGradiva\u201d.<\/p>\n

Freud was attracted by the unspoilt nature<\/strong> of Cimbrian Highlands<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and from its silence. He used to organize dinners, leisure time, walks in the woods, hiking and swimming in the Lavarone lake.<\/p>\n

Nowadays Lavarone is not so different from the little mountain town<\/strong> that Freud known. There are little more than a thousand inhabitants<\/strong>, Lavarone is formed by a set of localities that they used to be a group of country houses. Serge Mucheloni<\/strong> paints tell the stories and traditions of Lavarone and now they are exposed to the municipality house of the town.<\/p>\n
