Monte Venda, Mountain summit in Veneto, Italy
Monte Venda is a mountain peak in the Euganean Hills in northern Italy, rising to 601 meters in elevation. It stands as the highest point of this hill group and dominates the surrounding landscape with its distinctive cone shape.
The mountain was formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity that shaped the Euganean Hills region. The landscape was later refined by erosion and local geological processes.
The mountain is divided among four municipalities, and each has developed its own local traditions and character over time. People have used the slopes and summit area for farming and regional activities for generations.
The mountain can be reached via several marked hiking trails that offer different difficulty levels and connect from various starting points. Depending on the route and fitness, visitors can choose between short walks and longer treks.
This is the only peak in the Euganean Hills that exceeds 600 meters in elevation. This distinction makes it a special viewpoint in the region, from which you can see far beyond the surrounding hills.
