Top 6 Caves 포자나 마조레 주변

Natural caves near the church of San Donato. Beautiful view of the plain and the Euganei.

Reachable by following path 72 starting from Villaga Fantastic view of the plain, as well as a place of historical interest

An impervious and difficult to reach place where in the past it is said that brigands hid.

The covoli di San Donato are wonderful, panoramic. It is a place where an ancient church once stood close to the covoli; later it became a female Benedictine monastery. Now stands a church dating back to the nineteenth century. The walls also have some climbing routes.

Itinerary that allows wide views of the plain and the Euganean Hills. I would like to point out that in the second part of the descent from Monte Tondo the path is very damaged. Therefore, once you reach San Donato, it is best to head towards the church and go down the route you have already taken uphill.

The Hermitage of San Donato is one of the most evocative and panoramic places of all the Berici Mountains. Located on the hills of Villaga, it is characterized by the homonymous church and the long rocky wall at the base of which the natural cavities of Covolo open up. Walking along the large ledge you can see the remains of an ancient convent, documented since 1240. The whole area, with the peak of Mount Tondo di Villaga, was requisitioned for military purposes during the great war. In 1917, Italian and French troops stationed there, as well as veterans of the great battles on the Asiago plateau. The current neoclassical church, built during the nineteenth century, was also requisitioned for military purposes and used as a warehouse and kitchens. In 1935 the religious building partially collapsed, but was recovered by the noble Chemin-Palma family, owner of the Commenda di San Silvestro di Villaga. Since 1980 the Alpini di Pozzolo group has been in charge of the recovery of the oratory, rebuilding most of the remains of the building and rearranging the remarkable site of Covolo di San Donato, now owned by the Parish of Pozzolo, which occasionally opens the church for mass and ceremonies. From here the panorama sweeps wide over the low Vicenza plain and the Riviera Berica, the wide natural corridor between the Berici Mountains and the Euganean Hills that emerge on the horizon with their characteristic humps.
