- Description
-
This walk winds through beech and pine woods, starting from the back of the Italian army placement in the First World War up to the front line near the Austro-Hungarian trenches. The return path winds through the trenches dug by soldiers, passing in front of the cemetery of S. Giorgio and then back up towards Rifugio Zugna.
- Directions
-
The itinerary starts in front of the door of the shelter, taking a downhill road (wooden bar). Up to the Trincerone area, about half way, the track, called "Sentiero del Sinel" is indicated by white square trail markers with blue mark at the center, drawn on the trunks of the trees. From the Trincerone trench, the itinerary goes along the road to the cemetery of S. Lazzaro and then proceeds into the woods alongside the roadway (on the left, going up to the shelter) unraveling inside the remains of a trench. Once you’ve reached the road again, near a hairpin bend, continue on the opposite side along the road that leads to the cemetery of S. Giorgio and from here, following the signs of the Peace Path, along a characteristic mule track up to the mountain refuge.
