Today's hike runs through the forests above Bosentino and leads past interesting panoramic, naturalistic and historic-cultural gems. This path doesn't reach high altitude levels, in fact, the highest point is only slightly above 1,000 m a.s.l., making it an ideal spring and autumn hike.

From the centre of Bosentino we walk towards the village of Migazzone and continue through fields and forests towards Santa Caterina, where a panoramic view of the Valsugana with the stunning Lake Caldonazzo opens up. In the village of Santa Caterina we ascend to the higher-located farms and once there we continue walking along forest paths until we reach the forest road of Monte di Bosentino.

Arrived at the top, we take the forest road towards Bosentino and Vigolo Vattaro. After the first few downhill bends, we follow the path on the right towards Castel Vigolo, built in 1200. Today it is in private hands and can therefore not be visited. Soon after, we reach the santuario della Madonna del Feles, the last interesting spot before returning to Bosentino. This sanctuary was built following the Virgin's apparition reported by a shepherd in 1620. The hike is mainly easy but includes also a quite steep ascent. It is particularly recommended for those who want to discover the many different landscapes, views, hamlets and the centuries-old history of this area.
