Sasso Canale, Monte La Nava and Monte l'Usciolo, each a summit, are located in the area surrounding Dolo, as is Monte Legnone, a mountain. These different landscape features appeal to different interests: You can focus your stay more strongly on nature and the mountains or combine the landscape experiences with trails and cultural attractions.

Forest Trails and the Antiche Mulattiere Route

The Antiche Mulattiere Route reaches Dolo after passing through a forest and crosses a stream on an iron-and-wood bridge. Via Gusbano, it leads back to Dolo at a junction by the fountain. Its historical course includes old mule tracks through the forests of the former Pieve di Sorico. In January 2016, plans called for the improvement and repair of a path from Sorico to Dolo. These individual details describe a trail landscape in which the forest, stream crossing and connection to Dolo are closely linked, without implying current usability or a specific route status.

Museums, a Palace and a Church in the Surrounding Area

The Chiesa di S. Miro can be reached via a forest trail that ends in front of the church. The Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, a museum, is also located in the area surrounding Dolo.
