The road of the Scarubbi - Return from Monte Pasubio - Italian pre-Alps
I decided to do this post because I realized that to complete my photographic excursion to the Road of the 52 galleries, I had to do an episode of the stretch of walking to return to the starting point and so conclude this incredible hike!
To go back from the top of Mount Pasubio I chose a longer but less impervious road.
My brother Riccardo and I have walked the 10 km of the Strada degli Scarubbi.
A driveway built by the Italian army in 1917 during the First World War.
Unlike the landscape that was seen along the Route of the 52 galleries you saw in my previous posts, here is a very wide view that immediately gave us a feeling of relaxation.
As you can see from the picture the road is wide and has little slope.
We also met very few people...
Suddenly we even found snow.
We were 1900 meters above sea level and in the shade the temperature was low.
There was a great variety of flowers, I did not think to find so many.
I have photographed some...
After a few kilometers the road turned around the mountain and the landscape around us changed surprisingly.
Then we went through a series of hairpin bends with a steep slope and the vegetation became more woody.
We had the feeling of approaching the finish line ... we were sensibly tired.
We had not planned such a long excursion!
Every excuse was good to take a break! : D
The landscape changed constantly.
Sometimes closed with little visibility and then all vast with incredible views!
The variety of flowers changed as the altitude changed
When we were about to get to the car, I made the last effort and I took this last picture ...
As a greeting to a place that has given me a lot of emotions and satisfactions!
Surely I will return, it is a place full of history and poetry for the eyes.
I hope you enjoyed this post!
