first peak

The "Vajo del Bruto" or Valle delle Buse di Sopra, more simply known as the Valle delle Sfingi, is located in the contrada del Brutto or malga Buse di Sotto in Camposilvano. It is a particular valley, about 800 meters long, which has large monoliths regularly spaced from each other and which recall the Egyptian sphinxes, from which it takes its name. These particular rocks are the result of the karst erosion of two different rock formations, the Rosso Ammonitico and the Oolite di San Vigilio. The Valle delle Sfingi is a magical place, full of stories and legends, such as the one linked to the particular mushroom-shaped rock, also known as "el sengio de l'orco". According to tradition, in fact, this mushroom was brought here by an ogre to allow the fade (magical creatures) to tie a rope end to it to hang out the laundry. Or like the "Fò della Pace", a large tree isolated from the others and so called because under its shade disputes were resolved and contracts were drawn up.

Always a magical place to see

Lessinia, or Monti Lessini, is a plateau and an Alpine supergroup located mainly in the province of Verona and partially in the provinces of Vicenza and Trento. A part of the Lessini territory constitutes the Lessinia Regional Natural Park. It borders to the north with the Val di Ronchi and the Carega Group, to the east with the Val Leogra, to the south with the Adige and the upper Veronese plain and to the west with the Val Lagarina. Its peaks reach an altitude between 1500 and 1800 m above sea level. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lessinia

At 1,545 meters high, Corno d'Aquilino is one of the most famous peaks of the Lessini Mountains, above Verona. It borders Valpolicella to the north and its name seems to derive from the Latin "aquilus", meaning dark. On one of its slopes, it boasts one of the deepest karst abysses in the world, almost 1,000 meters.
