Destination: the mule tracks of Monte Cengio
Monte Cengio, with its perched mule track, tunnels and the legendary Salto del Granatiere, is one of the most evocative routes in the Italian mountains.
What to expect:
- You will discover the fortifications built during the First World War to defend the Asiago Plateau from the Austro-Hungarian army. You will walk along the mule track, carved into the rock and cross the tunnels that offer exciting views at sunset over the Valdastico below.
- An immersion in nature: Monte Cengio is a real paradise for nature lovers. Among the limestone rocks and beech woods you can admire the wonders of the mountain.
- A thousand lights: from the lights of the plain to the myriad of stars in the night sky. Discover curiosities and myths about the night sky!
A Saturday evening of culture in contact with nature and in good company!
