An Italian fort from the First World War, construction began in 1909 and was not yet completed at the outbreak of the conflict. It was part of the Brenta-Cismon barrier, a series of defensive structures designed to control the passage of the two valleys near the border with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In reality, it never participated in the active defense of the national territory: at the beginning of hostilities in 1915, it found itself in a non-strategic position, as the imperial army retreated to more defensible areas, namely the upper Valsugana. In 1917, after the defeat at Caporetto, it was temporarily used to slow the Austrian advance and facilitate the Italian retreat, but was later abandoned and demolished with explosives to prevent it from falling intact into enemy hands. The fort was a two-story concrete block, surrounded by a high wall and a deep moat with a drawbridge. Equipped with four cannons in revolving armored cupolas and four machine guns in armored emplacements. Today, the structure lies in ruins, hidden and engulfed by the undergrowth (at least in the summer). In addition to the collapse triggered by the retreating army, it was further demolished by salvagers from the villages below to recover the metal. The deep moat and high wall with arrow slits remain, hinting at its grandeur. Some internal rooms, however, are quite hidden and difficult to reach and potentially in danger of collapse. Along the former military road leading to the fort, you'll find the ruins of the barracks, the stables, and the captain's house. Great care and caution are required when visiting, due to its state of total abandonment, the lack of protection, and the vegetation that hides cliffs and holes. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forte_Cima_Lan https://www.montagnando.it/art/cdz/ForteCimaLan/

Spectacular metal walkway suspended above the artificial lake of Senàiga, between jagged and steep rock walls that plunge into the green/turquoise body of water: a beautiful setting and an emotional crossing! Following the construction of the dam and the filling of the basin (1954), the road that connected the hamlets on the left side to the pastures and woods on the right side of the Senàiga stream was flooded: to allow the inhabitants to pass again, this suspension bridge was built. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_del_Senaiga

The spectacular Senàiga Dam was built in the 1950s, creating the artificial lake of the same name and feeding, through a 6km tunnel, the Arsiè hydroelectric plant located at the head of Lake Corlo. It takes its name from the stream that flows into the Cismon River a little further downstream. The dam is vaulted, 68m high, and has two unique, majestic and winding slides that converge and force the water in a cascade toward a dissipation basin located at the base of the structure (though they are usually inactive). It appears suddenly and spectacularly after walking through a tunnel that carves out the mountain: you walk on the crest, with a beautiful view of the basin with its green waters and steep walls. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_del_Senaiga

A splendid stone bridge with a round arch, of Roman origin, it is located along the former Via Claudia Augusta, an ancient military road that led to the Germanic lands. Recently restored, it is located in a charming and secluded setting surrounded by nature. https://www.prolocolamon.it/it/territorio-e-cultura/via-claudia-augusta.html
