One of the iconic places of the E. Hills. A shame it is scarred by nets, barbed wire and padlocks from the former abandoned military base

Iconic place for its humanistic and religious historical value as well as a breathtaking panorama if the day is clear. However, you have to earn it, due to the difficulty of the climb and the obsolete obstacles of the fences and padlocks of the former military base that do not allow you to fully enjoy a magical place.

The Monastery of the Olivetani stands immediately below the summit of Monte Venda (601m), the highest peak of the Euganean Hills: the first religious presence dates back to the end of the 12th century, with a hermit and his servant initially living in a cave, succeeded by some Benedictine monks; in 1229 the site, the small hermitage, became an imposing monastery, acquiring ever more prestige, passing under the Olivetan order; in 1771 the Republic of Venice decreed the suppression of the structure which fell into ruin, becoming a refuge for shepherds. The ruins of the imposing complex remain, but the skeleton of the church, the bell tower, and the crypt are still visible. It borders the military area of the former NATO base, delimited by a kilometer-long fence that precludes the entire summit of the mountain. The silent walls create an atmosphere of charm and peace, with an enchanting panorama of the hills and the plain, especially when the place is not crowded with Paduans who come to frolic in the beautiful seasons. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastero_degli_Olivetani_(Galzignano_Terme) https://www.visitabanomontegrotto.com/luoghi-di-culto/monastero-degli-olivetani-monte-venda/

Il Corno del Venda is one of the most striking reliefs in the Euganean Hills Regional Park, located in the territory of Galzignano Terme on the western slope of Monte Venda. With its 440 meters of altitude, it stands out for its wild nature and imposing trachyte walls that offer landscape views of rare beauty. The area is crossed by highly significant hiking trails, such as the path dedicated to G.G. Lorenzoni, which offers spectacular views towards Monte Lozzo and the Po Valley. Characterized by dense vegetation of chestnut trees and Mediterranean scrub, Corno del Venda is a place where volcanic geology meets history, given the proximity to the ruins of the ancient Olivetan Monastery. Less frequented than the main summit, it represents an ideal destination for those seeking a more immersive and quiet trek, far from tourist flows, in an environment that preserves the primordial charm of the hills intact.

Monte Pirio, located in Torreglia, is one of the most spectacular peaks in the Euganean Hills Regional Park. At 328 meters, it stands out for its characteristic trachyte walls that emerge among the vineyards, creating a landscape of strong geological contrast. From its summit, you can enjoy an extraordinary view that ranges from the imposing Praglia Abbey to the reliefs of Monte Pendice and Monte Venda. The trails that cross it are immersed in Mediterranean scrub and chestnut groves, offering routes highly appreciated by hikers and mountain bike lovers. Pirio perfectly embodies the essence of the Euganean Hills, blending the wild nature of volcanic rocks with the centuries-old local winemaking tradition, representing a landmark for those seeking suggestive panoramas and tranquility just a stone's throw from Padua and the thermal centers.
