Campiglia Gun Emplacement

Highlight • Historical Site

The Campiglia gunboat, built in 1917, is an interesting example of a fortification dating back to the First World War. Located in a cave along the Scarubbi road, which leads to Malga Campiglia, this military structure was part of the Italian Alpine defenses during the conflict. The site, hidden in the rock, offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and represents an important historical testimony of those years. The strategic position of the gunboat, protected by the natural cavity of the mountain, allowed it to effectively control the area and respond to any enemy attacks.

A great starting point for a breathtaking hike.

The Strada delle 52 Gallerie, also known as the Strada della 1ª Armata or Strada della Prima Armata, is one of the most famous and most visited Italian military roads of the First World War. It was built to supply the Italian positions on the Pasubio.

I think it's a must for every Italian and everyone else should see it. In addition to the history, there are also fantastic views of the surrounding gorges. After walking through the 52 galleries, the longest of which is 430 meters long, you come to the Refugio Gen. A. Papa. There are enough places to sit, both for food and …

Finally we returned to this magnificent path. The first time I was 8 years old and with my grandfather Gaetano we climbed up to n°21, without a flashlight, holding hands and feeling the walls to find the exit. Grandma Lucia was waiting for us in the car, with a lot of apprehension. But with my grandfather every day was always …

Today my husband and I went this tour, it was fantastically beautiful but we had to find out that the descriptions from other sites are not necessarily true. On the one hand, the times given are not correct and that it is medium difficult is also not true in our eyes. The ascent in the tunnels is sometimes very steep …

So let's start by saying that at least the road to get there is paved but very narrow, there are several paid parking lots €6 for 24 hours but if you don't arrive in a hurry in the morning it's a delirium to find a place. The first section that leads to the refuge is really tiring, 5km of interminable …

Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlamp. There are further branches within the tunnels that can be explored. Several tunnels are over 300 meters long (Tunnel 19) or lead upwards like a corkscrew through several levels (Tunnel 20).
Unfortunately, many of the side tunnels have been littered and filled with shit by various "mountain enthusiasts."

Today we were on a historically very interesting and tragic tour.
On the Strada delle 52 Gallerie.
Brief on the story in my simple words.
1915 in the Great War...as the Italians say, the Italian soldiers were positioned on the Pasubio to stop the Austrians.
The Strada degli Scarubbi (our way back) was then the supply road up.
But since …

The road of the 52 galleries is a military mule track built during the First World War on the Pasubio massif. Circular excursion of the 52 galleries
Once you have taken the path near the Bocchetta Campiglia, the excursion necessarily follows the original route of the Strada Militare. Just over 6 km to reach the Papa Refuge. Return along the …
