    Military depot used during the war

    Hiking

    Italian military post from the First World War dug into the rock spur of Mount Brazòme, with two internal chambers for cannons and a third - smaller one - perhaps for a machine gun (?): all the guns were strategically aimed at Arsiero and the crossroads between Val d'Astico and Val Posina, a possible invasion route for the Austro-Hungarian army towards the Po Valley.

    The entrance to the tunnel emerges in the middle of the woods and might seem like one of the countless shelters and deposits just a few meters long, but instead it reveals unexpected depths and dimensions!

    Hiking

    This secluded base of an Italian barrack from the First World War hides the entrance to a truly unexpected and complex tunnel! You first come across a skylight (fireplace? kitchen?) and then a series of internal rooms (storages? housing?). There are metal hooks and wooden cabinets that are more than a hundred years old! You emerge beyond the rocky spur.

    The entire ridge from Novegno to Summano is dotted with military works, to control and target the Val d'Astico, a possible invasion route by the Austro-Hungarian army.
