Priara della “Perletta”
A path suitable for everyone, a 30-minute round trip. It is recommended to start the route from Forcella delle Punte, the saddle that divides Monte Venda from Monte Baiamonte (428m). To reach Forcella, take the Strada Militare del Venda (Loc. Castelnuovo di Teolo). The path is a peaceful 15-minute walk where you will find an intersection of the Alta Via, Trail No. 2 of the Central Euganei, and the path leading to the “Priara.” Once you take the left path, a climb will lead you to admire a fantastic panorama.
Sentiero Colle di S. Daniele
Pedestrian paths leading to the summit of the hill where the Monastery of San Daniele stands, built between 1076 and 1078 by the lords of Montagnose (of Lombard origin) for the Benedictine monks. Along the path, you will discover a richness of flora with a multitude of colors. Centuries-old trees, characteristic tree and shrub species of Euganean vegetation, enhance the scenic beauty.
Sentiero n. 16 del Monterosso
The trail begins from the hamlet of Monterosso, following the road along the wall of Villa Bembiana. Upon reaching via Circuito Monterosso, after about 150 meters, continuing along the track, you’ll notice the wall of a disused quarry marking the eastern slope of the mountain. At a small clearing where a chestnut fence has been installed for protection, the trail quickly ascends along a rock-cut watercourse.
At the end of the ascent, you reach a junction: to the right, the trail continues towards the edge of the quarry where a cave opens (not accessible to the public); from here, with a small detour, you can reach a panoramic point overlooking the ancient reclamation network. Back at the junction, the main trail continues along an old forest track that climbs to the ridge through a very aged chestnut forest.
Arriving at the summit, a clearing opens up, offering a panoramic view of the “gulf” of Praglia, bordered by the Monti delle Are, Lonzina, and Boscalbò, dominated by the Abbey, founded between the late 11th and early 12th centuries by a Benedictine community.
Sentiero n. 2 Colli Euganei Centrali
A trail approximately 15 km long with a total elevation gain of 1100 meters, suitable for all levels. The trail is accessible via the provincial road no. 89 “dei Colli”. When reaching the base of the ascent to Teolo, at a crossroads, take via Euganea Villa and continue through Calti Pendice until crossing a little bridge beyond which the trail begins. The path continues until reaching Sella di Rocca Pendice, a small clearing that exits the woods. Follow the white-red signs and reach the summit of Monte Pendice (320m). For the return, follow the entire ridge until reaching the courtyards of the Olivetan Monastery. Continue the route towards Torreglia.
Rocca Pendice: The Rock Climbing Area
The rock climbing area is divided into Punta Nord, Punta della Croce, and Sasso delle Grotte. Punta Nord is the most equipped wall with different climbing routes, including Via Palestrina, Via Diavolo, Via Creste nel Versante, and many others that can be discovered in the “Rocca Pendice” guide. Among the most frequented classic climbing routes are Le Creste: length 200m; difficulty III-IV (with a passage of V-); Direttissima: length 200m; difficulty V (with passages of VII-) and Diedri Sandi: length 180m; difficulty V.
