Guided Excursion - "The Cippi della Marcesina, between woods and history" - by the "Highland Guides" in the Asiago Plateau and the 7 Municipalities
Marcesina has always been visited by man, as evidenced by the 13,000-year-old finds found at the "Dalmeri Shelter" and those of 9000 years ago at the "ErnestoCave".
Along the current border between Veneto and Trentino there is the"Cippi Trail",which follows the border perimeters of the two regions, consisting of more than thirty stone stumps, arranged in 1752 as indicators of the then border between the Republic of Venice and the Habsburg domains; along our itinerary we will have the opportunity to admire some of them. The plain is located at an average altitude of 1300 m.s.l.m. in the northeast area of the Plateau; it was formerly used by the shepherds of the Seven Municipalities as a vast pasture for sheep cattle, it was bitterly disputed with the shepherds of Valsugana; The presence of many huts active from mid-June to mid-September is still significant today. Following the constant disputes and quarrels, this confinement was necessary, which, following the 1750 Rovereto Peace Conference between The Empress of Austria Maria Theresa and the Doge of the Republic of Venice Pietro Grimani, established its terms. The whole area is protected at European level as a Site of Community Importance.
For each of our excursions, we will visit some of the piana of Marcesina, ending the day with the guided view to the exhibition "From the Regency to Reconstruction, the Archive Unveiled" at the Prisons Museum.
