Holiday apartment in Rovolon: Discover hiking trails and culture

Rovolon combines hiking trails, historic buildings and regional destinations. The Sentiero del Rialto (R5) leads to Colle Mottolo. From there, it offers wide views of Monte Grande before continuing through olive groves and the typical maquis shrubland of the Euganean Hills. The Sentiero del Rialto and the Chiesa di San Giorgio provide two specific highlights.

Hiking trails between hills and valley

The car park and the start of the Sentiero di San Pietro (R6) are located on Via Manzoni next to Cantina Reassi, on the road from Rovolon to Carbonara. The Sentiero Rosa dei Colli (R7) offers a different landscape: it descends along Monte Sereo through a green valley and then reaches the cycle path. When planning your day, you can therefore choose between a trail with elevated views and maquis shrubland, a starting point by the road, and a valley route with a cycle path.
