The itinerary leads to the discovering of the forest of Folignani (SIC) and of some malgas, featuring the characteristic architectures of Lessinia. It is a route recommended for birdwatchers.
The route starts from the Bocca di Selva refuge, in the Venetian Prealps. It is a welcoming place where you can stay overnight and taste typical Lessinia products, including Monte Veronese DOP cheese, polenta and malga gnocchi.
Here, on clear winter days, you can enjoy the view of the Western Alps, offering spectacular views and landscapes towards infinity.
The route enters the Folignani forest, crossing perennial forests of beech and fir trees, where you can breathe in their wonderful scent.
