Biotopo Marocche di Dro

The Marocche di Dro reserve extends from Lake Cavedine to Dro town, bordered by Monte Casale, Monte Brento, and Monte Bondone slopes.

This protected area originated from three major landslides during the post-glacial period, approximately 200,000 years ago, creating its distinct rocky landscape.

The name Marocche comes from the Trentino dialect word marocca, derived from the Paleo-European term mar, meaning stone or rock.

Visitors can access the site through marked entrances after taking the A22 Brennero-Modena motorway exit at Rovereto sud-lago di Garda nord.

The reserve contains footprints of a four-legged dinosaur from 200 million years ago, likely belonging to a Scelidosaurus species.
