Cimego

The small village of Cimego (557 m a.s.l.) in the Valle del Chiese is home to about 400 inhabitants

Cimego is crossed by the Rio Salùm stream descending from Boniprati-Naron. Far away from the city, this village is a quiet natural oasis in the greenery. Historically, Cimego was divided into two parts: la Villa and Quartinago. Quartinago has perfectly maintained its character as a medieval hamlet to this day. Remarkable buildings within this district are the 16th-century St. Anthony church, which, from an artistic point of view, is second only to the St. Martin church built in 1635.

While here, you should not miss the Museo Casa Marascalchi, a museum dedicated to traditions and customs where you can have a closer look at the culture of the Giudicarie area. Hikers and walkers will definitely appreciate the Sentiero etnografico Rio Caino, an interesting educational path offering some of the most breathtaking views of the entire Valle del Chiese. This rather short path (only a few kilometres long) leads along several artisanal workshops (smithies, furnaces and sawmills), as well as trenches from the Great War and the orto della strega Brigida (the garden of a witch named Brigida) which is a true botanical gem.

Cimego is a quiet holiday resort. In summer it is an ideal starting point for fantastic hikes on the altopiano di Boniprati, whereas the winter landscape is marked by cross-country tracks and alpine ski slopes.
