Monte Corno di Nago: rings of Perlone and Predabusa

DESCRIPTION
Pleasant excursion in the Upper Garda Trentino between history and breathtaking views.
The ring tour that we propose is a historical / naturalistic itinerary departing from the town of Nago. We will retrace the sites of the First World War along the main military fortifications of Monte Corno di Nago, which was part of the first Austro-Hungarian line. The fortifications have recently been restored by groups of volunteers. We will also pass through woods and chestnut groves, being able to enjoy magnificent panoramic points of the Upper Garda.

ITINERARY
From the roundabout in Nago (221 m) take the signpost indicating Monte Corno - Anello del Perlone. After about 400 m you arrive at the first fortification: the Fuciliera (370 m). Continue always following the Monte Corno - Perlone ring trail to reach Castagneto di Nago (400 m) and then to Busa dei capitani (480 m). Now go towards Tre Croci path n. 637. You pass the remains of the quarter and arrive at the Tre Croci (579 m). Now follow the Monte Corno Anello di Predabusa signpost and arrive at the Caposaldo A.U. Preda Busa (750 m) - we are at the highest point of the excursion. Go back and pass through the Trench towards Arco. Continue to descend and then take the detour to the Trincea della Salina (490 m). Return to the main path and at the first crossroads go right to the Perlone artillery post, where there is an iron cross in memory of the Tyrolean soldiers who died in the war. Return to path 637 and descend towards Nago meeting the last fortification: the fortified post AGO (350 m). The last stretch is on an asphalted road.
