Tree Walks in Turin
Turin has 2 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 1.19 km to 1.57 km, past 8 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.
The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.
San Salvario
5 trees · about 1.57 km · 19 min on foot
Begins at The Hackberry of the Valentino (Mediterranean Hackberry (Celtis australis)) and ends at The Plane of the Fontana dei Dodici Mesi.
Centro
3 trees · about 1.19 km · 15 min on foot
Begins at The Caucasian Wingnut of the Giardino Sambuy (Caucasian Wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia)) and ends at The Ginkgo of the Giardini Cavour.
All of these stand in Turin, where we map 10 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Alkmaar · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Assen
