Tips from the Community
The Crutin del Cerro, in the woods between Rivalba and Castagneto Po, is a suggestive cave dug into sandstone/tuff, used in the past as a pastoral shelter and rural storage. The Piedmontese term 'crutin' actually indicates a small cellar or cavity dug into the rock. This place is also linked to the local history of the Resistance: during the German occupation, the crutin was used as a partisan refuge and hiding place. Today it is immersed in the silent environment of the Bosc Grand, among paths, oaks, and panoramas of the Po hills, and is a curious destination for naturalistic and historical excursions.
