A guided excursion through nature, history, and high-altitude panoramas along one of the most evocative stretches of Monte Baldo. The route leads to Cima Le Redutte, crossing ancient connection paths and fortifications from the First World War, still clearly visible along the trails that once marked the border between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The hike offers the opportunity to discover an area that harbors traces of different eras: from the Neolithic to the Roman age, from the Middle Ages of the "Millennia Road" to the Scaliger and Venetian domination. An itinerary that combines landscape and memory, allowing one to read the mountain through the stories of those who have traversed, lived on, and defended it over the centuries.
An immersive experience in the authentic charm of the mountain, among silences, spectacular views, and testimonies of a past still alive along the way.
