Location

A parking lot in Albiano, Trento.

Participants

Plans

A no brainer, at least on paper- intercity bus to and from Albiano, and a brief walk to the hash following the main road.

There are only two buses in each direction on Sunday, and the only feasible alternative for me was to leave Trento at 12.20 pm to get back approximately two hours later.

Expedition

As uneventful as geohashing goes; the overall hardest part was dribbling the 504s in order to create this page.

Arrived at the bus station reasonably in advance, paid for my ticket- 2,90€ each way, I'd expected it to be slightly more expensive. Being lunchtime on Sunday there weren't many people on the station, nor on the bus, nor at my destination.

Albiano is a mining town in the Cembra Valley, where huge porphiry quarries are found. It's a place you don't visit or pass through unless you are specifically headed there, but I found out it was way nicer and cozier than I remembered. As I anticipated earlier, there was almost no one around- it almost felt like a ghost town at times. The bus was on time and getting to the hash was straightforward, as expected. There was a construction site close to where the hash was supposed to be, but I managed to get into the GPS accuracy zone, and that was it for me. Having still plenty of time before the bus back to Trento, I took a stroll along the porphiry-decorated roads. I wanted to take some pictures but the weather wasn't optimal- it was just slightly misty, as if a light veil had been put in between the Earth and the sky.

Everything here is made of porphyr, including whole houses.
