The historic plane tree of the 100 bersaglieri

At its end, the Lagarina valley drastically narrows its slopes and forms the Chiusa di Ceraino. In just over 100 meters of width, the Adige and the state road that leads to Trento pass. After the locks, the Adige flows into the plain and the landscape opens up rapidly.

Guys, it's so beautiful there!! You have to see it and enjoy it! The tour was only 5.5 km long but it's very time-consuming. There's so much to discover and experience. Take your time! The tour is not easy. There are quite a few differences in altitude, you should be sure-footed and not afraid of heights and wear sturdy shoes. The tour is varied with a suspension bridge, cave, great water-filled gorge, super exciting guided tour, waterfalls, forest motifs like in paradise, but there are also mountain panoramas and pools that invite you to cool off. I wouldn't miss it 😉.

As is often the case, you can find Lake Garda plantans that are very old. These trees also stand out because of their gnarled growth habit, which gives the trees their special appearance.

Wonderful centuries-old monumental tree. I had heard about it for years and finally stopped. Located at the traffic light intersection at the beginning of the town, it is not very tall in relation to the impressive width of the trunk. It seems that the circumference at the base is 15 meters. Beautiful and majestic, shame about the somewhat unfortunate location...

The Platano dei Cento Bersaglieri is a monumental tree located in the center of the Platano area, a hamlet of Caprino Veronese. It dates back to the year 1370 and is currently the largest plane tree in Italy with a height of over 25 metres, a circumference of around 15 and a crown surface of 300 metres. It has gone down in history as the Plane Tree of the Hundred Bersaglieri as it is said that in 1937 during the Great Summer Maneuvers of the Italian Army an entire company of one hundred Bersaglieri hid among its branches and in its cavities. It also seems that in the winter of 1944 the German troops decided to thin it out, for fear that the Partisans could set ambushes on it.

Despite the lack of water at the end of August, a beautiful wild gorge with many waterfalls and many scours. The atmosphere and peace (on weekdays!!) are indescribable. Well secured and also easy for beginners to climb.
