From the defense lines on the summit, a spectacular terrace overlooking Lake Garda.

From Santa Barbara, above Val di Gresta, take the dirt road just in front of the fountain (sign with hiking map) for a flat route through vast cultivations. After about 500 meters, a left junction will take you into the woods, while on the sides of the road you will find numerous natural installations of “environmental art” made by the valley’s elementary school students.

After a descent you will find the first remains of what was once an important fortress and Austro-Hungarian artillery observation post.

Here, following the defense line, you reach the summit of Monte Creino, a spectacular terrace with a view of Lake Garda. The return takes place along the long dirt road, slightly descending, continuing northwards towards Santa Barbara.

An easy hike, suitable for everyone.
