Collina

Montello is a hill having red soil in the form of a huge ellipse; it stands isolated and clearly delineated, south of the current course of the Piave River. The entire area was the theater of bloody battles in the First World War and various military monuments have remained to bear witness to the history, such as the Ossuary of the Fallen Soldiers, the Monument to Francesco Baracca, the War Museum and the English War Cemetery.
 

Fifteen kilometres of renowned and evocative hillside towns in the municipality of Valdobbiadene to discover the wine and gastronomic culture of this beautiful land. We are talking about the Anello del Prosecco Superiore (Prosecco Superiore Ring), a historical nature trail.

These hills of volcanic origin, south of Padua, form a natural oasis which emerges from the flat landscape of the Po Valley concealing ancient villages and artistic and historic monuments among its dense forests and breathtaking scenery. Abano and Montegrotto lie at the foot of the hills a short distance apart. These towns, renowned for the extraordinary healing properties of their mud and water since Roman times, together form one of the most famous spa resorts in the world.
 

Gentle hills with soft silhouettes and extremely white stone, the Colli Berici are characterized by pristine nature and are practically a huge oasis abounding in scenery and architectural beauty. But the particular attraction of the Colli Berici is found in its calcareous rock which, being subjected to the karstic phenomenon, models the lands and creates fascinating views.

Do you want to spend half a day protected by the shade of woodland packed with oak, chestnut and manna ash trees? Follow this easy and relaxing route through the gentle landscape of the Euganean Hills. The route leading to Monte Ricco is circular, marked as no. 6, with the starting point behind the railway station of Monselice.

The path is the ideal circular route linking the literary sites included in the "Literary Park of the Este Hill": from the Castle of the Troubadours that sang Beatrice, to the Arco del Falconetto del Cornaro patron of the Ruzante; from the Villa ex Kunkler, in which Shelley composed some of his most important works, up to Calaone, with a possible detour to the former Convent of Salarola.

This itinerary is often also referred to as the "Dispersed Museum of the High Tobacco Road", with the idea of going beyond the simple hike in order to understand its function as a high-altitude link between the settlements and terraces, enabling the inhabitants to enjoy the minimum social life that hard work allowed.

The "San Bernardino" trail is an easy 10-kilometre loop that starts from the village of Mossano, in the province of Vicenza. Centuries ago, this town was very rich in waterways and the inhabitants exploited this characteristic by developing the industry of milling, building 12 mills that remained in activity until after the Second World War. The most famous, and photographed, example is the Mulino Mucchietto with its large wooden wheel that still works today.
