Discovering a small side valley of the Valle di Ledro, among green meadows and historic places.
The name Val dei Molini derives from the many water mills that were located on the stream in past centuries (Molino/Mulino means mill). In 1866, the meadows of Santa Lucia became the theater of the Battle of Bezzecca, fought between Italian soldiers under Garibaldi's command and the k.u.k. army. The small church of Santa Lucia contains frescoes and graffiti from the 14th century.
The Colle di Santo Stefano, with its war memorial and trenches, is just a few minutes from the village of Bezzecca.
Emergency number: 112.
