    Italian World War I Observatory (code name 'Elsa G'), excavated in September 1917 on the northern promontory of Cima Caldiera, perched on the northern edge of the Asiago Plateau, to monitor the Valsugana below.

    In reality, the observatory is divided into two points: one above, entrenched but uncovered, and one below, protected and dug into the rock.

    Observation point on Valsugana, built in 1917. It is just below the top of Caldiera to the north. The view is phenomenal and on clear days you can clearly distinguish mountains far away including some Dolomite peaks. It can be reached by mountain bike with great skill and attention.
