Have you heard about the farmer covered in hay?
No, it's not a joke, but a fairly ancient local tradition. Back in 1800 at Passo Oclini, country folk used to dig a hole in a great heap of hay, where they would slip in to sweat, thus o alleviating the symptoms of some illnesses, e.g. rheumatisms.
Smell: depending on the season, you might smell the scent of grass or freshly cut hay, of crushed leaves or moist soil.
