The best walks and hikes around Refrontolo

The Bivacco Marsini, also known as Casinet de Och, is a cozy refuge located at 370 meters above sea level on the hills of Refrontolo, in the heart of the Prosecco hills of Treviso. Restored from an old rural stone structure thanks to the commitment of volunteers, it offers a ground floor with a stove and a wooden loft for rest, as well as an outdoor area equipped with tables and a barbecue that offers a splendid panoramic view. The most frequented itinerary to reach it starts from the suggestive Molinetto della Croda and develops along an easy loop of about 8 kilometers with 300 meters of elevation gain, walkable in just over two hours via the CAI 1050 trail. This excursion, suitable for everyone and accessible in every season, perfectly combines nature, local history, and beautiful hilly views, representing the ideal destination for a relaxing half-day outing.

La Mondaresca, located in the hills of Tarzo in the province of Treviso, represents a model of excellence in social agriculture. Managed by the association La Piccola Comunità, this farm is not limited to agricultural production but operates as a true rebirth laboratory for people engaged in recovery and social reintegration paths. The main activity revolves around raising goats and managing an in-house dairy where artisanal cheeses, ricottas, and caciottas are produced and sold at zero kilometers. In addition to dairy products, the farm produces jams and vegetables, enhancing the therapeutic bond between humans and the land. Visiting the farm shop means supporting a project that transforms rural work into a tool for dignity, inclusion, and care for the territory.

The mill was built in 1630 and shortly afterwards accommodation for the caretaker family, a stable and a granary were added. It exploited the waters of the Lierza stream, the main tributary of the Soligo, at the foot of a 12-metre waterfall; it was decommissioned in 1953. At the end of the twentieth century, after experiencing years of degradation, the mill was purchased by the municipality of Refrontolo, which carried out a careful restoration and turned it into a milling museum as well as a venue for exhibitions, including in 2009, an important retrospective by the painter Angelo Lorenzon and, in winter, the annual International Nativity Exhibition.

The path passes right through this social farm from which there are incredible views over the hills to the plain! Furthermore, goat cheeses and ricottas are sold here.

The Molinetto della Croda, in the Lierza valley, represents one of the most evocative corners of the Marca Trevigiana. In its almost four centuries of history it has inspired artists and enchanted thousands of visitors. A characteristic example of rural architecture of the 17th century, the building was built in several stages. The foundations of the original construction rest on the bare rock, precisely the “croda” of the mountain.

This splendid and ancient mill is fed by the waters of the Lierza stream and with the nearby waterfall it creates a fairytale landscape.
