Purely a push-along stretch, and the pedestrian bridge collapsed in front of it. It would probably be better to take a wide detour.

The Grotta di San Girolamo is one of over 60 caves found on Montello, which have always been used as a shelter. According to tradition, during the dominion of the Serenissima in the Middle Ages, this natural shelter was used by the hermit Giovanni da Fassa who dedicated himself in solitude to the cult of St. Jerome. Regardless of the legends, it seems that the settlement in the cave of San Girolamo was already registered in the XIII century. The Grotta di San Girolamo is a karst cave, therefore with a typical conformation of the Montello area. Along the walls of the cave you can see hand-dug niches, now empty of content. It is located near Via Luigi Lama (intake IV), in the area called Valle delle Tre Fonti, a particularly humid and verdant place.

Rather challenging although short path. The "bus" (cavity) was not well signposted (perhaps there was a sign that is no longer there?) And the path seemed to continue to the right, but it is not ... The climb becomes very steep and slippery, among increasingly dense brambles, making the turnaround mandatory after a lot of effort.

Nice trip out of town. Quick execution. Easy path for everyone.

The Tavaran Grando is a cave of karst origin, easily accessible, located between Montello and the Piave river. 400 m long, it can be reached via the First World War Bunker route which starts from the church of Santa Croce, in Nervesa della Battaglia (TV). The karst in Montello has given rise to countless natural cavities and caves which make the hill a true paradise for speleologists and beyond, given the growing interest in this type of geological conformation. The caves here are really many, about 90 of different sizes

Natural cave

A cave of karst origins nestled in a picturesque landscape of chestnut, ash, pine, and oak trees. It's a place steeped in religious fascination, as evidenced by the numerous objects hanging on the walls. An ancient legend tells that here, shepherds guarded a small wooden statue of the Madonna, expertly carved on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, and given to them by an unknown pilgrim while they were grazing their flocks in these parts.
