chestnut trees in the area

Wonderful little mill with seating to take a break and put your feet in the cold, clear water

Above Marostica and Breganze, these little roads full of ups and downs, deviations and counter slopes are a true paradise for those who love to pedal away from the traffic in the Vicenza area. Here, to be precise, you are near the Laverda hamlet, namesake of the motorcycle brand founded in Breganze in 1949 by Francesco Laverda.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

*UPDATE* The rope to climb to the summit has been replaced by a ladder made of rope and logs, but the ascent (and above all the descent!) must still be undertaken only if you are safe and very carefully.

Path that deserves it, in the woods flanked by water 🔝 😍

Eyes slipping guys, hold tight to the rope!

I advise against climbing for non-experts as a simple mistake can lead to injury
