2 - Rust Route from Lavarone Chiesa
<p>Mount Rust is a height that rises between Lake Lavarone and the Carbonare saddle. During the Great War (1914-1918), it was chosen by the Austro-Hungarians to place on the summit an optical connection station, a structure that allowed the exchange of encrypted light messages between the forts and the rear command posts. In the walls of the building, holes are visible that housed the electric projectors from which the signals were sent.</p>
<p>The walk takes us to the summit of the mountain along the comfortable dirt road that climbs the north slope of the height, surrounded by a mixed forest cover of broadleaf and coniferous trees. Once at the summit, it is possible to visit the optical station and admire the view that opens onto the upper Astico valley and the height overlooking Forte Cherle. Walk suitable also for families with children over 6 years old.</p>
