PATH tunnels and caves of Merlo (San Nazario)
ITINERARY Sentiero del VU ' Locality Onda (Valstagna) and "Calà del Sasso"
The path runs along the right side of the Brenta to Altopiano 7 Comuni and is one of the most compelling historical routes present in the valley. If you wish to see whole itinerary it would take an entire day because it develops from 150 mt to an altitude of more than 1000 mt with countless viewpoints, different shapes and length of tunnels and trenches.
This route is located in the side of the Grappa Mountain overlooking the left bank of the river Brenta.
The first path is quite steep but easily walking and it goes through a forest of hazel, maple trees and a diverse flora of the forest including ferns, holly, cyclamen, primroses and violets, wild mint, flax alpine bushes Juniper and more.
At first you can enter in the Angelo’ s Caves, two galleries that represent only a fraction of what was a real network of strategic security and observation during the First World War.
After visiting this historic site we can continue the way for another 200 meters of altitude to get to the observation post on the ridge top where you'll see a beautiful panorama of the valley.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Other important goals are also:
Onda Selvaggia® Wild Wave ® is a Sports Centre on Open Air operating since more than 13 years within river sports (rafting, kayaking and Hydrospeed) and activities related to the mountain environment (Trekking, Nordic Walking, Climbing).
Brenta Valley is crossed by several historical and nature trails of varying length and difficulty. We can explore tunnels from the First and Second World War or walking along ancient transport routes used a long time ago to transport down timber from woods or also go along the High Way of Tobacco grown since early year 1000 until the '50s where you can admire many terraces that still dominate this territory.
If you wish excursions can be combined to other activities (rafting, canoeing lesson, or try to climb) to complete a day of nature and sport.
The activity can lasts about 1h30 to 2h30/3h depending of the chosen itinerary.

We can still go to settle for the initial part where after about 10 minutes' of walk we can visit a Gallery with artillery position. Passing through abandoned homes and villages scattered along the restored terraces still evident we arrive up to the leading edge of the historical Calà del Sasso , ancient road used to transport timber from the forests of the Plateau.
