コゴッロデルセンジオのおすすめツーリングルート

Be careful on the railway due to the slippery surface and the cold.

The Torrione di Pedescala, in medieval times but perhaps already in Roman times, was the military observation outpost on the upper Val d'Astico, which has always been a gateway for Germanic and barbarian populations to the plain. It had a direct visual connection with the castle of Velo, further down the valley, of which a tower and 10 metres of walls survive today; the latter was in turn visible from the castle of Cogollo, at the mouth of the valley, which has now completely disappeared: this system allowed for the sighting and reporting of any invasion dangers well in advance.

I recommend continuing the itinerary, which is well signposted, until you reach Lastebasse. Gravel bike or mountain bike with good training

Tourist location that can also be reached by bike along the "Itinerario valle dell'Astico" cycle path. In summer, a truly refreshing swim and a sandwich are a must

I recommend at least 40mm tires

The Astico River owes its name, according to one theory, to the term 'àstacus', which indicates the freshwater crayfish present in some parts of the valley. Another hypothesis links it to the 'laste', smooth stone slabs lapped by the river. In Roman times, the Astico was known as Medoacus Minor, while the Brenta was Medoacus Maior.
