In 1980, Rino Ballerin, a doctor from Castello Tesino, realised his dream of joining together two old military roads between Col del Boia and Pizzo degli Uccelli to create a botanical path. Today, this stroll takes you from Passo Brocon to the forest limit across blooming meadows. Along the path, you can admire 300 different plant species.
The botanical path, Trodo dei Fiori, starts at Passo Brocon on the northern side of the road. The itinerary climbs across alpine meadows, leading past information panels that offer interesting insights into the characteristics of the flora and nature of this area, which vary according to altitude and geographical position. On the ridge of Col de Boia, we are amazed by the stunning panoramic view of the Dolomites, the Gruppo del Lagorai, the Dolomiti di Feltre, Mt Agaro and the mountains of the Valsugana.
