An easy walk that runs from Bezzecca through the Val dei Molini and up to the Belvedere di Bezzecca, a natural terrace with a view over Lake Ledro.
The Valle dei Molini is one of the many places in the Ledro Valley whose toponymy recalls the numerous mills that once stood along the streams of the Ledro Valley. Today it is the ideal place for a refreshing walk in the shade of trees and along the Rio Sacher, which flows into the Massangla and descends towards Lake Ledro. The view from the natural terrace of the belvedere embraces the plain of Bezzecca, Lake Ledro, and the mountains of the Ledro Valley in the background, especially Monte Corno. The bench at the belvedere is the perfect spot for a selfie or a souvenir photo of the Ledro Valley!

It is not possible to completely avoid inaccuracies or errors, considering the rapid changes that can occur in the environment or weather.

From the church square we first follow Via XXI luglio and then Via Tovi. At the fork, we take the right road towards the locality Derco and the farmstead La Dasa. We continue on this little road, first among the houses, then in the woods and finally along the stream. We leave behind two little bridges and reach the intersection with trail SAT 459, which we take. We follow the trail and then take the dirt road on the right that branches off from a large hairpin bend and leads to the viewpoint. To return downhill, we take the small path that descends to the left at the edge of the fence and rejoins the paved road in locality Derco.

Mountain hikes require specific clothing and equipment. Even on relatively short and easy outings, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to face unexpected events such as a sudden storm or a drop in energy.
What to bring for a mountain trek?
In the backpack (for a day hike a 25/30L pack is usually recommended) it is good to bring:
Wear footwear suitable for the route and the season. The trail surfaces can be uneven or rough and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. A grassy slope, a rock slab or a steep path, if wet, can become dangerous without suitable footwear.
Finally... don’t forget the camera! It will be useful to capture the hike and the countless breathtaking views that Garda Trentino hides around every corner. If you want to share your memories with us, you can use the hashtag #GardaTrentino
