An extremely interesting route in the heart of the Lessinia Natural Park where the wolf is present, which has found its ideal place in these very woods.

From contrada Masselli – which is located along the provincial road that connects Bosco Chiesanuova with Erbezzo – the route winds first slightly uphill on a small asphalt road inside a beech forest and then along a beautiful path that from Contrada Scandole reaches out to touch the old houses of the contrade Rollo, Zamberlini and Tinazzo.

Characteristic of these places are the architectures of the individual buildings, which reflect the efforts and creativity of the ancient inhabitants who built them. Malga Vigna and Malga Crenzi are two examples of how humans were able to use the resources in the area to build their dwellings.
In a predominantly mountainous environment, amidst outcrops of Ammonite Red and the typical variety of trees, we walk through the bright green of these forests, encountering from time to time the marks left by the many wild animals in the area.
The trail is suitable for hiking, Nordic walking, snowshoeing, ski touring and MTB.

Technical description:
The route has no technical difficulties. It is simple, sometimes well-plotted, in some places it requires good knowledge of the area or at least a GPS. However, the trail is not always clear, especially between contrada Scandole and Rollo.
The section after contrada Zamberlini towards Malga Vigna is traversed by the European E5 trail. From Malga Crenzi you lose altitude, crossing a pasture where it is not always easy to follow the trail.

Technical advice:
