854 - Rosspach

<p>A fun route that descends from Folgaria down to the valley floor to be tackled all in one breath.</p>

<p>The route consists of a long descent from Folgaria to the valley floor (<strong>Calliano, where it is possible to join the cycle path that leads to Torbole in about 1.30 hours</strong>) covering for long stretches what was once the ancient medieval road (the route was in ancient times used to reach Castel Beseno – it is also known as the path from the mountain to the castle).</p> <p>Points of interest along the way include the fifteenth-century church of San Valentino, the villages of Mezzomonte di sopra and Mezzomonte di sotto, the Rella Mill, the Rio Cavallo stream – Rosspach – and of course Castel Beseno.</p> <p>The destination is therefore Beseno Castle, located on the homonymous hill or the link with the cycle path that leads on one side towards Trento/Bolzano and on the other towards Lake Garda.</p> <p>The route is picturesque due to the many access points to the Rio Cavallo (Rosspach), in some of which it is possible to do canyoning and dive into crystal-clear pools or simply walk along stretches of the stream.</p> <p>Since the Rosspach valley is uninhabited, a dense and varied vegetation dominates, making the environment very charming and wild.</p> <p>A true descent into the wild!</p>
