Parco naturale regionale della Lessinia

The park extends across 820 square kilometers of Alpine territory, featuring limestone formations, fossil deposits, and an extensive network of hiking trails.

In prehistoric times, the area provided hunters with abundant wildlife and flint resources for creating tools and primitive weapons.

Germanic Cimbri people settled in the region during the 10th century, introducing timber harvesting, charcoal production, and livestock farming practices.

Over 120 mountain dairy farms manage the vast pastures, producing Monte Veronese DOP cheese and maintaining traditional agricultural practices.

The upper Lessinia area contains one of the largest continuous pasture zones in the Italian Alps, characterized by smooth terrain with minimal rock outcrops.
