Monte Cas, Mountain summit in Tignale, Italy.
Monte Cas rises 779 meters above sea level on Lake Garda's western shore, featuring steep limestone cliffs that drop 650 meters toward the water.
During World War I, the Italian military established artillery positions and defense systems on Monte Cas to control access routes near Val di Ledro.
The Sanctuary of Madonna di Montecastello, built in the 1300s, contains Europe's largest ex-voto from 1600 depicting the capture of bandit Zanzanù.
Visitors can access the summit via a 4-kilometer trail starting from the SP38 parking lot, requiring approximately two hours to complete with 230 meters elevation gain.
The mountain's eastern walls provide nesting grounds for 59 protected bird species, including hawks, sparrowhawks, and owls within the Parco Alto Garda Bresciano.
