The Itinerary of the Onigo Hills and Bastia Walls
The itinerary of the Onigo hills, starting from the town hall, is a splendid nature trail that winds through the wooded area south of the sacred river to the homeland, along which the Italian army set up the second defensive line during the Great War.
The brutality of the First World War has left still intact traces on the territory, witnessed by the Trenches Trail, along which ancient military defense positions alternate with breathtaking landscape views such as the Piave Valley and the view of Monte Cesen.
Following the trench itinerary, one reaches the pass called Serra de Ciàlt, which leads to the Rònch Trail and subsequently to Serra de Pizzaia.
