The roccolo was an ancient bird hunting system made with a plant construction of beech and fir trees on which nets were stretched. Today it can be seen cycling in the area and guided tours can be organized by appointment

Originally, nets between the bushes were curious about the bird trap

The Roccolo del Sauch, in the Cembra Valley, is an ancient system for capturing birds. It is a vegetal construction of beech and fir trees suitably intertwined and pruned, so as to create a practicable tunnel with a grassy clearing in the center. After a large number of birds had landed in the space at the center of the tunnel, the scarecrow was waved from the hut preceded by the birdcatcher's whistle. The horizontal escape took the birds straight towards an almost invisible net stretched between the arches of the tunnel.
