Path along a suggestive vertical wall, used as a climbing crag. In the area, as in all the Berici Hills, there are numerous and particular similar karst phenomena (ledges, cliffs, roofs and caves), the result of differentiated erosion between rocks of different compactness because they were formed in different geological eras; they were used as shelter and dwelling since prehistoric times. Above this ledge, Monte Cengia offers a spectacular panoramic point (very exposed) on the plain and the Euganean Hills. P.S.: the 'cèngia' is a horizontal passage that 'cuts' a vertical wall; the 'còvolo' (Venetian dialect) is a ravine in the rock.

Pulpit of karst rock that offers an exceptional view of the plain and, on the horizon, the Euganean Hills: it is extremely exposed, without protection, so you need to pay particular attention to the precipice. Below this panoramic point, a ledge runs along a suggestive vertical wall, used as a climbing cliff.

This ancient building is inaccessible because it is in a military zone, surrounded by a high fence and surveillance cameras: an unusual contrast! The former parish church of the hamlet of San Giovanni in Monte, in the municipality of Barbarano-Mossano, stands on one of the highest points of the Berici Hills. The building was built around 1300, but its uncertain origins are likely even older. After a period of abandonment and a restoration in the 18th century, it was permanently closed to worship in 1954, replaced by the new parish church in the center of the village. The entire site was handed over to the Italian Army's Broadcasting Command, which fenced off the hill and made it a military zone, building two radio towers. It can be visited exceptionally thanks to the Italia Nostra association, which manages an annual calendar of public openings. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Giovanni_in_Monte

Very panoramic point with spectacular views of the plain and the Euganean Hills.

It is located along the steep path 71 of Scudelletta. There are the characteristic 'albi', dug and sculpted directly into the rock.

Hidden fountain in the woods, an unexpected cool refreshment!

You can see tombs from the early medieval period dug into the rock and nearby the remains of a cave house. Trail 75 starts from via Cognola di Barbarano and is well signposted. Starting from piazza Roma di Barbarano vicentino you can do a circular tour.

From Mossano (near the town hall), follow the clearly visible signs, path 81, which after a short descent leads you uphill between old mills, accompanied by the sweet sound of the stream.
