The summit of Civillina is wide, grassy and very panoramic with a wide view of the Vicenza and Trentino Prealps, today unfortunately covered by clouds and mist. There are also numerous trenches and other very well preserved or recovered war artefacts. Finally, congratulations for the comprehensive explanations posted on numerous information panels along the entire itinerary.

On the top, a remarkable panoramic point that ranges from Carega to Pasubio, from Novegno to the Asiago plateau and the Grappa group.

Precisely because of its strategic position, between the Valle dell'Agno and the Valle del Leogra, in the First World War the Civillina was an Italian stronghold of the last line of resistance, at the crossroads between the Ortogonale 1 and the Ortogonale 2, in the event of an enemy breakthrough from Pasubio and Novegno: it was never directly involved in the conflict, but military works such as defense trenches, artillery positions, cave shelters, are still visible and recovered throughout the surrounding area. a powder keg, the mule track that climbs from the Sentinello, the military lorry road.

Monte Civillina has also been, for centuries, since the Middle Ages, one of the most important mining centers in the Vicenza area, with the extraction of iron, silver, magnesium, kaolin and much more.
