The route winds suspended between two quiet guardian hills, Dòs Beo and Dòs Mani, ancient custodians of the land. People do not walk here to reach a summit but to enjoy the views.
You climb up Dòs Beo, where for many years goats used to strip away every blade of grass. In 1940 a reclamation project planted conifer trees, and today you walk through a dense wood, perfumed with wild carnations and dog-roses.
Dòs Beo reveals itself in four stages, with four different viewpoints and perspectives. These are the rooftops of San Lorenzo Dorsino, the rock towers of the Brenta Dolomites, and the Baél meadows, which suddenly become vertical, ending abruptly with the land plunging down below your feet into the peaceful Bondai valley.
The descent leads to the ruins of Castel Mani, a Bishopric fortress where a captain collected tariffs on goods in transit. It is said that when the captain was facing imminent death, he hid a treasure at the foot of the tower. Nobody has ever found it because, according to legend, a cunning demon moves it every time somebody gets close.
When the path ends you are left with the sensation of having walked through an ancient stage set, among panoramas captured from the sky, and hidden mysteries that the earth refuses to reveal.
