From Cembra to Lago Santo
<p>The trail connects the village of Cembra to Lago Santo and follows a section where the ancient Via Claudia Augusta passed, which linked Trento with Tyrol.</p>
<p>The route develops through the forest, interspersed with clearings where locals' huts have been built with porphyry slab roofs according to tradition and meadows protected by typical dry stone walls. Halfway through the loop appears Lago Santo, with its immaculate beauty. In 1494 the young illustrious traveler Albrecht Duerer passed through this route and sketched several views of the valley. Three centuries later, this route again saw the passage of Napoleonic troops heading to Segonzano Castle.</p>
