Prehistoric fortifications dating back four thousand years, paths used by the Romans, ancient watchtowers: this walk around the core of Roncoi, at the foot of Mount Pizzocco, passes through places that tell us of a distant past.
Locations today immersed in the forest, where archaeologists have found ancient traces of human presence.
The itinerary takes place on a "glacial terrace" formed about 16,000 years ago, when the glacier occupying the Piave valley was melting, and water was accumulating debris in the empty space that was created between the side of the valley and the retreating glacier tongue.
