Very interesting and varied excursion starts from a very famous location as San Giorgio di Valpolicella also known as San Giorgio Ingannapoltron is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, in particular the starting point is Ca de la Pela (panoramic point and famous trattoria) GPS 45°32'21.62"N 10°50'15.81"E, from here you climb on a dirt road that then becomes a path up to a large house now an abandoned ruin near Via Case Sparse Caranzan passed near the houses and the capital (photo) we climb up a small road until we cross the paved road that connects Mazzurega Sanctuary of Solane with Località Brentani.. We turn right for a few hundred meters to take immediately left a dirt road uphill, beautiful and panoramic that leads us on the ridge of Mount Solane and then descends until we reach another panoramic position the Old Church of Cavalo with a beautiful rural courtyard and its arch (photo).

Here we head north on the provincial road Via della Torre and then Via Stravalle to go down in the direction of Cavalo Chiesa on the way back we travel the same road as the outward journey but we stop at a wonderful fountain with a huge wash house with geometric designs for a pleasant stop.

We return to Via Stravalle and Via della Torre then to the Old Church of Cavalo, we pay close attention to go up after the Church at the point where we take the path to the left that will take us to Mazzurega. There are indications, sign, but we must graft into the right very nice narrow path that after a path at high altitude descends quickly with a good downhill slope to Mazzurega, nice and interesting fraction of the Municipality of Fumane from here from Via PioXI and then via Croso we reach Cavarena that we cross on dirt road at the bottom that will bring us back to Via PioXI and then via Croso we reach Cavarena that we cross on dirt road at the bottom that will bring us back to Via PioXI then on asphalt we go down in the direction of San Giorgio Ingannapoltron if we want we can visit the prestigious and beautiful village

The square with a fabulous view of Lake Garda, the Romanesque church, the cloister and

a stop at the Red Zone Art Bar is a must.

Then we return to Via Caduti sul Lavoro and in a curve we pay attention to take a path to the right that runs at high altitude just above the provincial road that leads to Ca de la Pela. This is a great choice not to be missed.

The path returns to the paved road near the Biotto farmhouse from the square a fabulous panorama is worth a small stop .... from here continuing we reach Ca de la Pela from where we started
