Roveré Veronese

Nature Experiences Around Roveré Veronese

Roveré Veronese brings nature, trails and culture together within a compact thematic area. A special starting point for exploring the landscape is the Grotta di Monte Capriolo. The karst cave lies at 1,005 metres above sea level in Roverè Veronese and is part of the Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia. Inside, a visitor route of around 110 metres leads through the cave along walkways. This route is easily accessible and well lit.

Visiting times for the Grotta di Monte Capriolo vary depending on the occasion: visits are scheduled on summer weekends. Outside this period, visits are available to organised groups and school classes by prior arrangement. The cave is therefore a destination where the specific form of the visit is part of travel planning, while the documented facilities along the visitor route provide an individual impression of the experience.

Trails, Forests and Views

The Parparo-Malera and Parpari-San Giorgio tourist trails begin at the Stadio del Fondo in Conca dei Parpari. From the nearby Malghe Dosso Alto and Marian, the view extends across the Po Valley to the Apennines of Emilia and towards Lake Garda in the direction of Monte Baldo. These named viewpoints and trailheads offer the area different points of connection: you can focus on a route, the landscape or the far-reaching views without combining the individual destinations into a single attraction.

For easier access to the landscape, there is the San Francesco di Roverè V.se circular trail. It leads through the higher-lying Contrade in the municipal area of Roverè Veronese and through a landscape of typical architecture, forests and pastures. For the San Rocco di Piegara area, there is also a simple guide to cycling and hiking routes.

Cimbrian Traces and Local Building Culture

Roverè Veronese also has cultural points of interest that are closely connected with the history of Lessinia. The first Cimbrian settlement group established itself in the Roverè Veronese area. The Baito del Modesto illustrates this regional heritage through Cimbrian architecture, an adjoining icehouse and the traditional use of stone in Lessinia.

The Museo del Bosco, a gallery in the public park of Roverè Veronese, offers further insights. It displays paintings by Gianni Franceschini on the theme “Donne dei Monti”. From the centre of Roverè, signs lead towards the district of San Francesco and the Località Vajo to the museum; it is about 1 kilometre away.

Churches also contribute to the cultural character of the area. The Church of Saints Francesco, Rocco and Bellino in San Francesco was built in 1639 by local residents as a chapel subordinate to the parish of Roverè. The present building was constructed in 1883 on the site of its predecessor and consecrated in 1945. In Arco, the Chiesa di San Vitale has a Baroque altar made with abundant local marble, as well as a 16th-century altarpiece.

Events Throughout the Year

The most important events in Roverè include the Festa dei Funghi e del Tartufo and the enogastronomic competition Fungo d'Oro della Lessinia. Both take place on the first weekend of September and add a culinary focus alongside the area's nature and cultural themes.
