    Long, remarkable and restored Italian trench from the Great War: it climbs zigzagging from the Sarantonio lake (it is in fact also identified as the 'Sarantonio Trench') until it crosses the Gazza–Rove military road (part of the 'Sentiero dei Grandi Alberi'), and continues with the military mule track that climbs to the Ristele pass. Together with the fortified works on the Gazza plateau and hill, around the Battisti Refuge, it was part of the third line of resistance to contain a possible Austro-Hungarian attack.
    Now it crosses a thick forest, but at the time of the conflict the area was cleared and the view was clear.
