Calea turismului inteligent
În ultima vreme, agroturismul a capatat noi valente prin includerea in pachetul de oferte a componentei culturale. Oameni din alte regiuni reusesc sa descopere pe viu valori traditionale, specificitati locale prin participarea nemijlocita la viata de zi cu zi a unui loc sau altul. Tatarusi ofera din plin aceasta posibilitate prin zestrea traditionala detinuta si frumusetea locurilor. Minunata padure de fagi de aici ii confera vizitatorului senzatia de armonie si il deconecteaza, macar pentru câteva secvente de tumultul urban.
Strabatuta la pas, cu un minim de echipament, padurea se arata in toata splendoarea prin bogatia de fructe (in sezonul cald), ciuperci si un aer exceptional de curat. Atmosfera este tulburata de sunete ori foşnete, si poti tresari daca vreu caprior ratacit ori vreo vietate bezmetica se trezeste sa-ti apara in cale.
Una peste alta, câteva ore petrecute in sânul padurii te incarca pentru zile bune ce vin dupa. Gasiti locuri excelente de picnic, trasee de plimbare usor de strabatut, fructe de padure, ciuperci, alune. Cu ajutorul unui ghid local puteti ajunge in locuri de legenda, padurea Tatarusi fiind spatiul in care s-au derulat multe fapte din vechime care au strabatut timpul pâna la noi. Se aminteste de existenta unor tâlhari fiorosi care isi aveau salasul in portiunea inalta a padurii, care servea ca loc de observatie si pentru valea Siretului, si pentru valea Moldovei, loc cunoscut azi sub numele de Curtile zmeilor.
În vechime, se spune ca, acestia furau fetele frumoase de la horele din sat, navalind mascati si inarmati pe nepusa masa, ecoul acelor fapte fiind si azi folosit de bunicii care vor sa astâmpere avântul nepotilor de a fugi in padure la joaca, cu povesti despre zmeii grozavi din adâncul acesteia. Daca ajungeti la Curtile zmeilor veti gasi urme ale unor fortificatii si tuneluri care dovedesc ca acolo a fost cândva o lucrare omeneasca.
Aventuri cinegetice
Daca sunteti pasionat de vânatoare, fondul cinegetic al padurii confera posibilitatea de organizare a unor partide cu acordul autoritatilor si in conditiile legilor in vigoare. Se pot vâna capriori, mistreti, iepuri salbatici, fazani, zona fiind lesne de strabatut la picior sau cu vehicule de teren. Pentru astfel de indeletniciri va puteti adresa Inspectoratului Silvic Judetean Iasi, in administrarea caruia este fondul de vânatoare din Padurea Tatarusi.
