발다뇨‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

Always an interesting route, starting, in my case, from Thiene, along the Val Logra to Pian dell Fugazze (the last stretch from the Balasso refuge is a bit challenging). Then I took the road that leads to the CAMPOGROSSO refuge, with a stunning view of the CAREGA mountain range. After a stop at the refuge, I descended towards Recoaro. However, once I reached the village of Merendaore, I followed a narrow, partly paved road that passes through rustic villages to reach Valcalda, from where you can easily reach Staro and the Valli del Pasubio.

The Passo della Camonda shrine is in effect a refuge used by merchants and wayfarers who traveled from the Agno Valley to the Leogra Valley. The pass was also one of the strongholds of the Italian defensive line during the First World War.

Rocoli Path to the Mucchione Church

Camonda Pass route leading to Busellati district

Strategic area as a starting point for many trails

Slightly challenging climb, more from the Valdagno side where the slope is more noticeable, however nothing impossible

The Camonda Pass where the characteristic capital is located can be reached in about ten minutes from the SP246 road which from the hamlet of Bonomini (Recoaro) leads to Rovegliana (from here just follow the signs for Contrada Camonda). Camonda Pass. Historical reference The Orthogonal strategic line 1, which from Campogrosso continued with a linear trend on the watershed between the Agno and Leogra valleys, was characterized by the strongholds of Cucco Moro, Some and Locchetta and on the Camonda pass, was part of the complex defensive system of Monte Civillina – Monte Cengio. This line, following the directives of Gen. Cadorna, Chief of Staff of the Army, was abandoned and replaced in the spring of 1917 with two vertical lines: the Sentinello further south and the one from the Camonda Pass to the top of the stronghold, inserted in the new Orthogonal 1; both were equipped with machine gun positions in the cave and served by two comfortable mule tracks. A third mule track went up the eastern side of the mountain from the Manfron pass, close to the Civillina – Monte Cengio line.

Historical place and passage of the Ortogonale 1. Merchants passed through here, and sometimes stopped, when they transported goods from the Agno Valley to the Valleogra and vice versa.
