Bogn discovery trail

A relatively short loop ride, but quite challenging due to the steepness of the terrain. The difficulty of the climb is repaid by the stupendous views of the ravine. The view is breathtaking, but the route is not suitable for those suffering from vertigo and not recommended for children due to the unprotected stretches.

Start from the Piazza del Porto in Riva di Solto and walk along the lakefront in the direction of the parish church. Continuing on the walk of the olive trees, paved with the well-known Ceppo di Grè di Solto Collina, you reach the Bogn area. Continue straight on what used to be the old lakeside road, built in 1910 and currently replaced for vehicular transit by the tunnel on the left. Enter a small gallery. After crossing it, the unique spectacle of the Bogn opens before your eyes. Pausing on the bridge you can observe the suggestive vertical slabs of rock overhanging the lake. Here, in the summer, it is not uncommon to see fearless divers leap into the waters of Sebino directly from the former road.

Continue until you reach the end of the Bogn area closed to traffic, where there is a small beach. Here, paying close attention, continue for a short distance along the road until, on the left, you find a small shrine next to which there is a steep path, initially surrounded by vegetation, which you will have to follow always keeping to the left. This stretch is full of incredible viewpoints.

Once the climb is over you are on path 565, also known as "La Panoramica". Continuing left, you pass a shed and then a picnic table. The great climb is over, now the descent begins to return to the village along the other side of the ravine. After passing a bench, you come out onto a paved road (via degli Apostoli). Turn left and go down the paved road; after two bends, take a path on the left bordered by vegetation. It passes upstream of the town of Zorzino until it returns to a small, somewhat bumpy stretch of concrete. After about 100 metres, on the left, take a grassy road which, skirting the Orrido, after a bit of paving and a few large steps leads to the beginning of the olive tree walk. From here it is possible to return to the village.
