A route to Dosso Spirano and Dosso Roveri on Mount Baldo

The tour

A really nice medium difficulty tour from Navene to Dosso Roveri, passing through Dosso Spirano along path n. 6: the battle front mule track.

A 8-kilometers long trek awaits you involving 1286 m of elevation gained and 335 m of elevation lost.

In Dosso Spirano you'll find a military hospital called "Ricovero Dosso Spirano" which was later used as a refuge. Today the hospital is fallen into disuse.
There are many relics, trenches dug in the rock, dry stone walls, fortresses and defensive walls ruins along path n. 6.

The route is varied and suggestive: the nice views over Lake Garda and Mount Baldo are many.



Route description

Take the uphill street on your right immediately after Fraglia Vela Malcesine and, once the ascent is over, turn on the right again. If you reach this spot by car you can park here.

Keep going ahead and, after about 300 m, turn left on a path to be followed for just a few metres. Immediately afterwards, go up on the right on a paved street and keep going ahead.
Leave the paved street, go up on a short stretch of road to get to the forest road that you need to follow up to the crossroad in Dosso Spirano.

Turn left on path n. 6.
In this part, the incline change: wood sections, mule tracks and moved stones sections alternate on steep stretches. Here you can enjoy some beautiful views over Lake Garda, wild Mount Baldo, and Mount Altissimo.
Just before Dosso Spirano, you have a 360 degree view which deserve a photo.

Go from Dosso Spirano to Dosso Roveri, on a flat section, then go up on a zig-zag road to Dosso Roveri. When you reach the clearing, you'll enjoy a stunning panoramic spot and you'll also find some relics dating back to the First World War.

Follow the same route to go back.

Route starting point

The route starts in Navene which is situated 5 km to the north of Malcesine.
