Military Vehicles and View of Rocca di Brendola

Highlight • Structure

If you are coming from Fimon: it goes downhill for a long stretch, then steeply uphill to the castle. Shortly after that it goes downhill again. If you want to go back to Fimon and continue from there, it goes uphill again.
Plan for June: in the part where it goes downhill to the vehicles there are lots of persistent mosquitoes

Bishops' Castle

Highlight • Castle

The medieval castle of Brendola dominated the plain and the passage between the present-day provinces of Vicenza and Verona, which for centuries was a contested border between various states and factions. Precisely because of its important strategic position, it featured an imposing, complex, and fortified architecture. It is also known as the "Bishops' Fortress," having served as the bishop's jurisdiction and refuge for centuries.

Built at least as early as the year 1000, over the centuries it was the scene of battles and sieges, reflecting the vicissitudes of history and changes of power. In 1513, it was occupied by the Spanish and in 1514 reconquered by the Venetian Republic, which ordered its destruction to prevent the castle from "further serving as a potential refuge for Spaniards, Germans, or other enemies of the Republic."

Of the fortress, only the keep (under renovation) and fragments of the walls that once surrounded the entire hill and the old town remain.

Rocky Trail in the Forest

Highlight • Trail

With the Gravel, uphill, if the bottom is wet, it's hard ... too many outcropping stones make it difficult to proceed!
The bike continually tries to unseat the driver.

Trail Above San Gottardo

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Path that connects Fimon to Costa Lapio and through the northern side you arrive following a very tortuous path with rocks and slabs to the top of the mountain and you reach the top of the hill in the particularly impervious and tiring coast area.... you have to be very careful on the descent .
