The Buso della Rana is the largest cave in the Veneto region and one of the most extensive in Italy, with a network of caves stretching almost 30 km in total (40 km including the Pissatèla complex above, to which it is connected). Located beneath the Faedo-Casaròn Plateau, it is an intricate karst system that collects and channels the plateau's waters into the Rio Rana, which flows at the entrance. It was formed when rainwater seeps into the permeable limestone surface layer and, encountering the underlying impermeable basalt (volcanic rock), flows laterally, eroding the rock. Over millions of years, this has created a complex labyrinth of horizontal tunnels, chambers, chimneys, siphons, and small lakes traversed by underground streams. Because it drains the plateau's waters, the cave is subject to flash floods, making exploration treacherous. Inside, the temperature remains constant between 10 and 12°C year-round. It is freely accessible through the monumental entrance and by proceeding along the Main Branch for about fifty meters, until reaching the first flooded corridor or Siphon, a horizontal constriction that requires crawling. From there, it is the preserve of speleologists or exciting and adventurous guided tours organized by associations like Biosphera (see link). The internal branches are not marked, and one must know the way. The name of the cave has nothing to do with the amphibian, but is an Italianized term from the Cimbrian word "roan," meaning "rocky wall," referring to the cliff at the entrance. https://www.busodellarana.it https://esplora.biosphaera.it/luoghi/buso-della-rana/

The Cascata dei Papalini suddenly appears in a small clearing in the heart of the forest, along the path: over time the falling water has formed a columnar deposit of gray limestone that descends like a drape and that partly acts as a springboard for the jet. But the peculiarity and spectacular nature of this waterfall is the possibility of seeing it even from behind the scenes: in fact, by climbing to the left on a short but steep path, you reach a natural roof of the rock from which you can observe the forest below through the curtain of water, without getting wet! The passage is not protected and is wet, so you need to pay particular attention. Like all torrential waterfalls, it is not always full and active: you need to look for the right period, perhaps after heavy rains, to visit it in all its thunderous splendor.

Beautiful gravel road both uphill and downhill, excellent surface and very appreciable for the historicity of the road itself.

Beautiful waterfall, it looks like a face with one eye, a big nose and teeth😊

The Papalini waterfall is a small waterfall in the middle of the woods, it deserves to be seen

Magnificent view on one side of Sovizzo and on the other of Montecchio Maggiore. Sometimes it hosts events (theatre, open-air cinema, medieval events).

A medieval fortress, destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, built on the hills of Montecchio Maggiore for its strategic position along the Via Postumia, controlling the passage between Verona and Vicenza. A previous fortification likely existed in Roman times. It is known as "Romeo's Castle" by tradition and folklore: Luigi da Porto, a military leader and man of letters, retired from military life and wrote the first novel about Romeo and Juliet in 1531 in his residence in Montorso, overlooking the two castles. In the 19th century, at the height of Romanticism, legend arose that the two castles, so close yet so far away, inspired him to imagine them as belonging to the rival families of the Montecchi and the Cappelletti. Shakespeare later drew inspiration from his work to make the tragic love story famous. Today, the castle occasionally hosts cultural events (concerts, theater, open-air cinema); it is open on weekends (see link); Free access to both the walls and the tower, from the top of which you can enjoy a magnificent 360° panorama. https://www.prolocoaltemontecchio.it/cosa-vedere/castelli-di-giulietta-e-romeo/ https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelli_di_Romeo_e_Giulietta
