The walk takes through the forests between Lake Caldonazzo and Lake Levico to reach the spa holiday destination Levico Terme.

We start our hiking tour in the centre of Pergine Valsugana. From the „Piazza del Municipio“ square we hike towards east to the “via Maier” and the “via Guglielmi” and than towards north until we reach the crossroads with the „via Tegazzo“. From here, we hike some steps up to the hill of Pergine Castle and than back down on the other side of it.

Arrived a the small village of “Masetti”, we cross the main road and continue our tour towards Pozza and Ischia, which lies at the north shore of Lake Caldonazzo. From here, we hike on an asphalted trail towards east until we reach Visintainer, a small hamlet near the Pize biotope. We cross the biotope on a very beautiful trail along a small stream. After a while we reach the “Sentiero degli Gnomi“ (literally: dwarfs trail) with beautiful views of the western shore of Lake Levico.

Continuing our tour along the lake shores, we get closer and closer to the village of Levico Terme. At the end of the trail near the “Canneto di Levico” biotope, we hike upwards on the asphalted road leading to Levico Terme. After a short rest in the beautiful centre of the village, we take the Valsugana train in order to get back to our starting point.
