Arena Verde, Villa, Forlago , San Ciriaco, Vaio Fiamene,Dosso, Quena, Castel
Circular excursion of 10 km Km with an uphill difference in height of about 350 meters, develops in the heart of the Negrar Valley of Valpolicella with departure and arrival at Arena Verde
The route is mixed and very interesting you start from Arena Verde Parking Eurospin you walk along Via Sandro Pertini until the end there are stairs that you climb through a tiny project and you enter a paththat passes through the vineyards that at the end cross a dirt road turn left and continue slightly uphill until you reach Villa here are the signs for Quena Dosso take the asphalt road uphill Via Rita Rosani to continue then via Forlago that leads us to San Ciriaco . We pass the church and at the 2nd bend we enter a dirt road that descends into the Vaio di Fiamene And here we really have an enchanted place a flowering in spring not to be missed and also the flow of water with its games in flowing caressing the rocks and, smoothing them over time.
We walk through this area to discover micro landscapes and maybe a small stop to enjoy the place.
now we leave this place with the sign to return and go up following the same path made on the way we return to the paved road and climb and arrived at Villa Gazzola on our left we take a cemented path to the right that descends steeply with Negrar indications that brings us pleasantly back to Dosso, without entering the district, we keep to the left and with indications in a marked path will take us to Quena So what. we continue on a path flanked on the left by a long new dry stone wall and we arrive in Ara we turn right and on asphalt we pass from the Castel district to always descend on asphalt to Vigolo and next to Villa rizzardi, we turn right flanking the walls of the fence on a dirt road to return to Arena Verde from where we started.
I propose a map with its elevation profile, a video and some photos to illustrate the route and therefore that can provide an idea of the places, landscapes, and peculiarities that you will find along this path.
