    These relics of the Great War stand on steep, grassy slopes that lie to the left of the scree of the south wall of Chiadenis.These bastions, in ruins until a dozen years ago, were brought partially back to their original condition on the initiative of the Veneto Region.

    This is a special route, being of a mostly historical nature, but can prove to be very engaging if the ruins are visited in the right state of mind. The first of the two forts, with a very complex structure, was in all probability a logistics base for our soldiers on the front line, very close by.In observing the slits, the walls and the metal stakes, it is hard not to think of those dramatic pages of our history and, perhaps, feel like one of those Alpine troops struggling with all the hardships demanded by the terrible situation.Even on holiday, history should not be ignored.The other fort, given the position, probably had a strategic function.In addition to these particular aspects, the walk is very pleasant of itself because of the lovely setting. There are also two large information boards.Beware of inadvertently touching the stones of the fort:vipers love rocky and sunny places like this!
