Bavaria: History and Walks on Montello

Bavaria combines tangible traces of wartime and resistance history with a walk on Montello. In the village are the Monumento ai Caduti and the Chiesa di Sant'Urbano Papa e Martire; on Montello, a walk of approximately 7 kilometres from Bavaria leads to Busa delle Rane, Valle delle Tre Fonti and Grotta di San Girolamo. This makes Bavaria particularly suitable for travellers who want to combine a historically focused stay with a manageable hike.

Monumento ai Caduti and Chiesa di Sant'Urbano

The Cippo a Mario Fiore stands in Bavaria at the exact spot where Mario Fiore fell. Another central landmark is the Monumento ai Caduti. The foundation stone for the present-day Monumento ai Caduti in Bavaria was laid in 1925. The Monumento ai Caduti was built on the remains of a 17th-century church dedicated to Saint Mauro. The mortal remains of 35 soldiers from the First and Second World Wars rest inside it.

The Chiesa di Sant'Urbano Papa e Martire has been documented since 1593. After being damaged during the war, it was completely rebuilt between 1922 and 1923. Its main altar was made partly from old material recovered from the ruins of the Certosa. The village's political history is also connected with this church: a meeting to organise scattered officers and soldiers took place in the Chiesa di Sant'Urbano in Bavaria, with representatives of the anti-fascist parties at provincial level also taking part. This meeting marked the beginning of the activities of the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale of the Province of Treviso.

Resistance History and Walk on Montello

For understanding the region's history, the resistance-history route from Montello to Monte Grappa is relevant. It continues via Nervesa della Battaglia to the Bavaria district. The place name therefore stands not only for individual historic buildings, but also for a section within this documented route.

Those who would like to explore the landscape on foot can consider the walk to Busa delle Rane and Valle delle Tre Fonti from Bavaria. The route is 7 km long and takes approximately 2.5 hours. The walk begins at the car parks at the end of Via Genio Zappatori in Bavaria. On Montello, the route visits Busa delle Rane, Valle delle Tre Fonti and Grotta di San Girolamo. Each of these destinations gives the walk its own historical or landscape-related character.
