A two-wheeled journey to discover Forts Garda and Batteria di Mezzo, built over a century ago along the ridge of Monte Brione.
Until 1918, Garda Trentino was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which, aware of the strategic importance of this area, built a powerful defensive line — with Monte Brione at its center. In addition to the visible remains from that period, Monte Brione is now a protected area due to its typically Mediterranean flora and remarkable biodiversity.
