바사노 델 그라파‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Col Fenilon is a green, rounded hill rising among the Colli Alti, offering a splendid 360° panorama, even better than the more famous (and lower) Col Moschin: the view extends over the plain, Bassano and the Brenta Valley, the Asiago Plateau, the Lagorai, Mount Grappa, and, on the horizon, the Dolomites. During the First World War, the Colli Alti del Grappa (including Col Fenilon and Col Moschin) were a crucial and extreme point of Italian resistance defending the plain. In June 1918, they were conquered by the Austro-Hungarians, and later retaken by the Italians in a lightning-fast and legendary action. The name derives from "buon fieno" (good hay), due to the excellent mountain pastures it has provided for centuries.

Crazy view on the Bassano valley

Croce col fenilon

The large cross of Col del Fenilon (1327 m) is in memory of the fallen and heroic deeds that characterized these places during the First World War. From here the view is truly magnificent. You can admire in one fell swoop the plain up to the sea, the Brenta Valley, the Asiago Plateau and the Grappa peak.

Very small rock labyrinth, but nice to do, be careful in winter that between fallen trees that do not allow passage and the frozen snow you risk getting hurt.

Among the Bassano hills, the Silàn stream rises in the hamlet of Valrovina and descends along the valley of the same name, forming here a spectacular and unexpected waterfall with jutting out and natural pools of crystalline water. The waterfall ends in an enchanting clearing, in the middle of a lush forest with impressive centuries-old chestnut trees, with enormous and twisted trunks. 'Silàn' is a Cimbrian toponym that means 'place where water flows'.

Mount Caina (1,002 m) is a splendid panoramic balcony, thanks to its privileged and unique location, right on the southeastern corner of the Asiago Plateau. It offers a sweeping view of the entire Po Valley, from the Lessini Mountains to the Upper Adriatic. In the foreground is Bassano and the entrance to the Brenta Valley. To the left, the vertical, rocky western slope of the Grappa massif, with the profile of the Shrine atop it. On clear days, you can clearly see Venice itself, and even the bell tower of St. Mark's Basilica! The site is meticulously maintained: a green lawn, a cross, an Italian flag, a black statue dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima, benches, and—the icing on the cake—a powerful pair of binoculars (free) for hunting for details and places, both well-known and lesser-known!
