Tour around the Colle di Tenna

DESCRIPTION
Magnificent walk around Colle di Tenna with beautiful views of the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo.
Interesting itinerary both from a landscape and historical point of view. It is a path that does not present particular technical difficulties, but it is a bit long. So you have to be a little trained. In autumn you can admire beautiful chromatic glimpses of the two lakes of Valsugana.

ITINERARY
From the car park at the Hotel Margherita (602 m), in the Alberè pine forest, take path 2 and climb for about a hundred metres. Once you reach the road, turn left and follow the direction of Baita degli Alpini (620 m). Once at the hut, continue to the Cava dei Sasi panoramic point (624 m). Now go back to the crossroads and continue on trail number 2. Go down through the Val d'Orco, follow the Levico lakefront and then go up to the village of Tenna (569 m). Here you follow path no. 1 arriving first at the Austro-Hungarian fort (590 m), Forte di Tenna, and at the church of San Valentino (560 m). You go down and you reach Brenta (462 m) and then you go up again until you return to the starting point.
