Werk Verle | Forte Busa Verle is an Austro-Hungarian fort located at an altitude of 1506 meters in the Passo Vezzena – Malga Verle area. A bomb-proof fortified structure, it served to prevent a possible Italian advance from the Val d'Assa on the Vezzena, Cima le Mandrielle, Monte Erio. As a fort, Campo Luserna was subjected to heavy shelling by Italian artillery, but was never conquered.

The new Vaia Dragon (officially 'Drago Vaia Regeneration') is spectacular, imposing, and completely different from its predecessor: larger, more menacing, and above all more enraged by the human stupidity that destroys nature and art, a fact exemplified by the anonymous arson attack on the previous work. It has literally been reborn from the work that burned on the night of August 23, 2023: in addition to sharing the same position, 10-15% of the wood was recovered from the previous dragon. A symbol of rebirth and resilience. It has returned after less than a year as the largest wooden dragon in the world: 16 meters long x 7 meters high (double the size of the first), 6 tons of wood, more than 3,000 pieces on a steel frame. Unlike its predecessor, the dragon was not created on site, but inside a warehouse in Pedescala, then transported here in two enormous pieces and assembled. I quote the artist, Marco Martalar: "It took ten months of work to create, and the work carries with it the memory of what happened to its predecessor. Inside it are not only the roots of Storm Vaia, but also a part of the old dragon that was destroyed, while the other parts were deliberately charred and then reassembled with the rest of the wood." https://www.lavaronegreenland.it/drago-vaia/ https://www.martalar.it

Splendid cycle path in a fir forest. Too bad it's not possible to travel the entire route of the old one up to Cogollo del Cengio

With a mostly compact dirt surface, this pleasant cycle path was created from the railway line that once connected Rocchette to Asiago, and therefore the plain to the mountains. Along the route you can admire disused stations. The old steam train was nicknamed "vaca mora" by the people of the highlands and in one section it was equipped with a rack to overcome the large difference in height.

The fort is fenced and unsafe, it is absolutely forbidden to climb over the fenced area.

Built by the Austrians between 1907 and 1914, along with the Campo di Luserna and Belvedere di Lavarone forts, it formed the most advanced defensive belt on the border between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy (now the border between Trentino and Veneto) to block the road from the Asiago Plateau through the Assa Valley. It was subjected to heavy bombardment by Italian artillery (particularly from the dominant Verena and Campolongo forts, which it could not return fire from). Shell craters can still be seen in the surrounding meadows today. Severely damaged, it was largely repaired and rebuilt. After the Strafexpedition of 1916 and the advance of the front toward the Asiago Plateau, it served as an optical link and logistics headquarters. The fort is now unsafe, cordoned off, and closed to visitors. What caused it to deteriorate to this extent wasn't so much the shelling during the war, but rather its dismantling by salvagers in the 1930s to extract its iron. https://www.trentinograndeguerra.it/context.jsp?area=100&ID_LINK=242&id_context=173 https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_Verle

The view is incredibly intense, in the worst sense, representing a dark page in human history, but it is essential that it is learned.

Forte Verle (Werk Verle in German) is a fortification near the Vezzena pass. It was built by the Austrians before the "Great War" and, as can be seen, suffered bombing from the Italian army. It's impressive.

The view is great from different sides. You see him again and again on various tours.

[DISCLAIMER: This comment—like many photos—referred to the first Vaia Dragon, completely destroyed by arson on the night of August 29, 2023; however, Komoot removed the highlight because it related to something that no longer exists and therefore cannot be visited, unifying it with the new work called 'Drago Vaia Regeneration'.] A spectacular and majestic work by artist Marco Martalar, created on site with branches, trunks, and roots of trees felled by Storm Vaia in the fall of 2018: a guardian of nature, a symbol of its devastating force and a reminder to respect it. A sculpture whose charm also lies in its transience: made of untreated wood, destined to slowly disappear over time, under the force of nature itself, until it returns to the earth. Inaugurated in November 2021: 2,000 pieces of wood, over 3,000 screws, 6 meters high and 7 meters long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1doRxjxDNI https://www.martalar.it
