This specific connection links Baldichieri d'Asti with a cultural theme, while nature and geology add further dimensions to the town and its surroundings.

Wooded path and traces of natural history

The Sentiero del Conte leads through the wooded upper part of Baldichieri d'Asti. It is associated with the Riserva naturale della Valle Andona, Valle Botto e Valle Grande and Castellero as destinations. Locally, the Sentiero del Conte is also known as “Il bosco di tutti”, after children studied its flora and fauna several years ago. If you are travelling with children, this connection can offer an accessible introduction to observing nature and the regional landscape.

In Baldichieri d'Asti, there are fossil-bearing deposits towards Castellero and Monale, along roads and in forests. An index fossil found in Baldichieri d'Asti made it possible to date the fossil-bearing layer reliably. For travellers interested in natural history, this makes the town's geological past tangible alongside its forests.

Church, churchyard and historic architecture

The Chiesa di San Secondo was built around 1673 on the site of the former Oratorio di Santa Maria Assunta. It had already served as a parish church since the 16th century. Under the direction of Don Giovanni Battista Casto, the church was extended; it has a single-nave layout and four interconnected chapels.

The façade of the Chiesa di San Secondo, built in 1828, consists of rendered masonry, has a stepped profile and is structured by niches and four Doric columns attached to the wall. The churchyard of the parish church of San Secondo Martire offers an unusual view of the surrounding hills. If historic details are important to you, this focus is a comprehensible criterion when choosing your holiday apartment.
