Descrizione
The Marocche di Dro is the largest landslide in the Alps. The term Marocche comes from the dialectal term Trentino maròc or rock block. It is a thing to see and it is impossible not to notice. Going up from Dro to Trento are on the right side of the road. To immerse yourself in the Marocche and see them in their splendor we suggest you take the road that leads to Lake Cavedine.
Formation
They formed when the Tesino glacier began to retreat, a glacier that had occupied the Sarca valley for millennia. As the pressure on the slopes receded, some slopes began to crumble into fragments.
Along the valley to the north, on the left is Monte Brento. If you look at the walls you notice the large niche of detachment, from where they have created part of the Moroccans.
There is also a legend that says that under the Marocche of Dro there was a city ,a the city of Kas. In 1907, during excavations of the underground canal towards the Fies power station, a Roman tile and ashes were found.
Flora and geology
Walking in Moroccan is something unique. The terrain is stony, arid and among the boulders there are natural bonsai trees that have adapted to the surrounding environment. Inside the Marocche area there is a small body of water, Laghisol, the only wetland. It’s easy to come across flint nodules, fossils, and even dinosaur footprints that you can visit.
Here are some trekking proposals inside the Moroccan:
