Questo itinerario si svolge in una località della Lessinia centrale ben conosciuta dai veronesi amanti della neve perchè sede di un Centro di Fondo e sulla strada per la località sciistica di San Giorgio. L'itinerario si svolge su prati e boschi di latifoglie per un dislivello complessivo di circa 200 metri ed è percorribile in tutte le stagioni but the most fascinating is gathered in autumn when the beech trees turn red.
not just a walk through picturesque places, but a journey through time, because the signs left by telling us stories of over a thousand years ago, when I lived in these areas Bertoldo . a simple but smart mountain lived in the second half of the sixth century and welcomed between 568 and 571 to the court jester as king Alboino in Verona and counselor.
For those wishing to investigate the deeds of Bertoldo can King seeks the play was written by Giulio Cesare Croce entitled "Tricks of Bertoldo thin" or the book "Bertoldo, and Bertoldino Cacasenno.
But let's get to the route itself.
Dossalto It starts from the hut, reachable by car, turning left just after the church the center of the bottom of Parparia.
On the back of the shelter is a line of Laste the climb over and begin to descend toward the base of the ski lift right off today. Arriving at the base of the ski lift to our right we see a lonely pillar of stone with red empty niche which probably contained a religious image.
After observing the cross carved on the back, looking up at the south well camouflaged between blocks of red ammonitico and bushes, we see a nice stone refuge of shepherds everything that could hold two shepherds sitting , a similar (slightly 'smaller) located nearby on the opposite side of the valley.
lodges overlooking the valley below where it was gathered the flock of sheep at a time when even Lessinia herding sheep was a 'activities more widespread than today.
Continuing the walk to the bottom of the valley, left on our left a nice pool of water behind the Bait and the Campo Rotondo hut, we reach the side of the mountain Spiazzoletta still partly wooded.
on the side of this mountain, we immediately notice a large lawn (the practical 'to BERTHOLD) carefully cleared of stones: a nice solitary beech dominates the corner to the southeast. Among the numerous marogne of stones you see a site with rocks and pieces of sheet sagomanti well: it is what remains of what is traditionally as the "house of Bertoldo" which stood nearby. Near the great beech fills a pile of stones that are identified as "pit Bertoldo, a cistern that collected rainwater in a roof. These remains were recognizable only a few years ago.
before driving towards the location Spiazzoi we approach a pillar of stone stuck on a rock which is about fifty meters to the east. Beneath the cross carved in the stele states that a young man of 25 years died there March 20, 1869 hit by a snowstorm on his way to Giazza.
go back in and continuing on the lawn of Bertoldo Spiazzoletta path which skirts the mountain, we come to the beautiful architectural complex of Spiazzoi: a church which bears the date 1855, two barns and an old inn dating from 1820 which served as a resting spot until more than half of the last century for Farmer who resided in huts during the summer.
