Fojarol della Valle di Seren
La Valle di Seren, 32030 Seren del Grappa IT

The Seren Valley, named after the town at its entrance, is a valley that preserves interesting landscape, environmental, naturalistic, and historical features. It has been shaped over millennia by the Stizzon stream.

Located at the foot of Mount Grappa, it is an excellent starting point for walks and hikes. The Alta Via 8, also known as the Alta Via degli Eroi (High Way of Heroes), winds along the ridge of the surrounding mountains, in memory of the war events related to the First World War that took place in this area. In fact, throughout the valley, there are testimonies and commemorative plaques in memory of the events that occurred more than a century ago.

Another important and peculiar aspect of the Seren Valley is its rural architecture. The most striking and famous example is that of the fojarol, mountain shelters with a characteristic roof covered with twigs and leaves ("foje" from which fojarol) of beech, which were cut in August during a waning moon, when the beech is at the peak of its vegetative phase, and immediately put in place. A few examples can still be seen and they are all located between the Seren Valley and the adjacent areas. More widespread, but equally interesting from an architectural point of view, are the "case alla feltrina" (houses in the Feltrino style), whose facade was porched, with an external staircase leading to the piól (wooden balcony). Here, agricultural products were dried and the bedrooms opened. On the ground floor there was the kitchen with the larìn or ritonda, where a wooden seat circled the hearth. Attached were the cellar and other storage rooms, and a little further on the small vaulted stable (cuba) where the livestock was kept during the winter months; above was the hayloft.
