From the defence lines at the peak, a spectacular terrace overlooking Lago di Garda.

From Santa Barbara, above Val di Gresta, take the gravel road right in front of the fountain (billboard with hiking map), for a level route through vast cultivated fields. After circa 500mt. an intersection to the left will lead you into woods, while along the sides of the road you will encounter the numerous natural stagings of "environmental art" creations of the valley's elementary school students.

After a downhill strech you'll find the first remains of what s once an important stronghold and observatory of Austrian-Hungarian artillery.

Here following the defense line you arrive at the peak of Monte Creino, a spectacular terrace overlooking Lago di Garda. The return takes place along the long gravel road, slightly downhill, continuing on to the North toward Santa Barbara.

An easy hike, suitable for anyone.
