34 - Devil's route

There was once an ancient house on the southwestern slope of Monte Rust, the hill rising near Lake Lavarone, said to have been haunted by spirits and even subjected to an exorcism. Located in an isolated area, touched by the ancient road 'dell'Ancino di là', the old house, after decades of abandonment, has collapsed, and only vague masonry traces hidden by vegetation remain.

The route, easy, is inspired by the mysterious events concerning the house mentioned in the introduction, locally known as Ca' dei Còti. But the beauty of the route lies in the forest area it crosses, the characteristic village of Pra' di Sopra, and the views opening towards the upper Val d'Astico, the Carbonare saddle, Monte Cornetto, and the Vigolana massif.
