Beautiful Castle on the route

Beautiful medieval fortress under restoration and currently not open to visitors.

Very nice enjoyable climb

An incredible natural and historical environment

Definitely a nice route, quite easy and quiet because it is not crowded. Allow me to correct the length of the route, which is not about 8 km as written, but well over 12, this is for information only. Advised.

The medieval castle of Brendola dominated the plain and the passage between the present-day provinces of Vicenza and Verona, which for centuries was a contested border between various states and factions. Precisely because of its important strategic position, it featured an imposing, complex, and fortified architecture. It is also known as the "Bishops' Fortress," having served as the bishop's jurisdiction and refuge for centuries. Built at least as early as the year 1000, over the centuries it was the scene of battles and sieges, reflecting the vicissitudes of history and changes of power. In 1513, it was occupied by the Spanish and in 1514 reconquered by the Venetian Republic, which ordered its destruction to prevent the castle from "further serving as a potential refuge for Spaniards, Germans, or other enemies of the Republic." Of the fortress, only the keep (under renovation) and fragments of the walls that once surrounded the entire hill and the old town remain. https://prolocobrendola.it/castello-rocca-dei-vescovi/
