Among the mountains that dominate the eastern side of Lake Garda rises the Lessinia plateau, from here with a glance you can embrace a panorama that goes from the Adige valley to the Po Valley. This land, because of its strategic position, has been crossed by the borders of empires and states that, throughout history, have alternated in the control of Central Europe. Of these boundaries it is still possible to see the traces, in the stone stones placed on the peaks, in the roads, in the military bridges and in the trenches dating back to the period of the Great War.
Today as then, these boundaries are crossed by forest animals, which have never attributed any meaning to these barriers.
Gianmarco Lazzarin is a hiking guide of the regional park of the Lessini mountains and is tracing a mapping of the paths and roads that cross this territory. He stopped to sleep at the malga riondera by his friend Andrea Delmonego. Andrea leads the hut together with his daughter Alice, his son-in-law Bruno and, for a year, there is also little Anita with them. at the Malga Riondera goats, sheep and cows are bred and small-fruit plants are grown and there is also an educational apiary. All the land of the hut is managed in the name of environmental sustainability and is aimed at protecting biodiversity. The presence of the wolf on these mountains poses a threat to breeders but at the malga riondera they have understood how to live with this predator.
