EXCURSION DEVELOPMENT: Guided hike to Forte Interrotto north of the Asiago Plateau. Enchanting place for the views on the central plain of the Plateau. Departure on foot directly from the center of Asiago. We will cross some of the most evocative districts of the northern area, until we reach the beautiful panoramic point at 1392 m.s.l.m on Mount Hinterrucks which from Cimbro means "mountain placed to the north", and mistakenly Italianized as "interrupted".
The Interrupted Barracks takes its name from the homonymous mountain: built in 1887 entirely in local stone. Together with the Tagliata Val d'Assa and the batteries of Monte Rasta, it had the task of constituting a barrier of the upper Val d'Assa in the event of an Austrian advance. During the Great War it was heavily damaged. Occupied by the Austro-Hungarian army on May 22, 1916 during the advance towards Asiago. It was then adapted as an observatory on the Plateau (with the affixing of some lighthouses) and equipped with some small caliber pieces. During the consummation of the Strafexpedition in these places one of the most valuable acts was carried out by the Italian army now at the mercy of the enemy.

READING OF THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY:
EASY: The itinerary takes place on forest roads, dirt roads or easy mule tracks always well indicated and without orientation problems in cases of fog or bad weather. The differences in height are contained within 250-300 meters and the length of the itinerary is within three hours. These are somewhat long walks that require a sports hiking shoe, not necessarily the pedula or the boot.
EASY/ MEDIUM: The itinerary takes place on forest roads, dirt roads or easy mule tracks always well indicated. The differences in height are contained within 250-400 meters and the length of the itinerary is within 3 - 5 HOURS. These are somewhat long walks that require a sports hiking shoe or boot.
MEDIUM: The itinerary definitely exceeds three hours, it is more complex, it takes place on a path with some challenging climbs or descents but can be overcome without the support of mountaineering equipment. The terrain may be bumpy or lack signals. The maximum difference in height remains within 400 meters.
MEDIUM / CHALLENGING: The itinerary definitely exceeds three hours, it is complex for the difference in height that can reach 700 meters or for the length of the walk up to 6 hours, it takes place on a path with some climb or descent challenging but surmountable without the support of mountaineering equipment. The terrain may be bumpy or lack signals.
CHALLENGING: These are itineraries that require long experience, training and physical strength on the part of those who travel them. it is necessary to know how to move with skill even in dangerous terrain: screes, steep slopes or steep stretches, dense scrub, high and without references, rock passages, absence of springs. The difficulty of the terrain and the distance from the support points require total autonomy. Where indicated there may be the need to bring with you bivouac material such as the tent, bivouac bag, stove, food, requires training, energy and strong motivation.
ABOUT US - GUIDE ALTOPIANO
We "Plateau Guides" are the first group of professional guides of the Plateau. We are local guides who have been operating on the territory of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni since 2008. The belonging to the place by the members of the group ensures an intimate knowledge of the proposed destinations and a deeply respectful approach to the environment and its history. Our passions for nature, history and sport have led us to choose a life path based on the study of the environment and local history. Graduates in scientific, tourist and sports subjects such as Forestry and Environmental Sciences, Natural Sciences and Motor Sciences we have also specialized in the historical field with courses recognized by the Province of Vicenza. In order to practice professionally, we are regularly enrolled in the professional registers of Environmental Naturalistic Guide (L.R. n. 33 of 2002 of Veneto), or of Medium Mountain Guide (L.R. 23 July 2013, n.18).
A few steps from the center of Gallium is the starting point of this beautiful route, which will lead us to one of the most characteristic and evocative places of the Plateau.
