Discover Canove di Roana

Canove di Roana is ideal for travellers who want to combine their stay with history, regional culture and trails through the surrounding area. The town offers several clearly distinct points of interest: a museum dedicated to the First World War, a historic railway line serving as a route, recurring festive traditions and an opportunity to observe mountain animals. This makes it possible to discover Canove di Roana from different perspectives, without any single experience defining the character of the town.

History in the town and along the former railway line

The Museo Grande Guerra – Canove collects documents and finds from the First World War. It therefore focuses on the documented history of this period and complements the impressions you can gain while walking through Canove. Piazza San Marco is also home to a monument to those who fell in the wars of the 20th century. The square thus provides another concrete link to the town’s culture of remembrance.

Another historical trace lies outside the museum: the Strada del trenino follows the former route of the so-called Vaca Mora. This was a rack railway that connected the Altopiano di Asiago with the plains. The name used today thus preserves the connection to a former transport route. Those interested in this history can combine it with an experience along the historic route.

Easy connections and trails around Canove

Trail no. 84 leads from Canove to Asiago and is an easy route along the Strada del vecchio trenino. This provides not only a historical backdrop but also a specifically named route. Canove is also a starting point for hikes and walks on foot or by bicycle, including along the historic Strada del trenino. This allows you to consider different forms of transport when planning your trip without equating the routes: trail no. 84 refers to the connection to Asiago, while the Strada del trenino, as a historic route, provides the thematic framework.

Festa dei Cuchi on 25 April

The Festa dei Cuchi is a fixed date in the annual calendar. It takes place in Canove di Roana every year on 25 April, the feast day of Saint Mark. Traditional terracotta whistles in many shapes and colours take centre stage. The Festa dei Cuchi also includes stalls selling cuchi, various entertainment options for adults and children, fairground rides and a food stall. If you plan your stay around this date, a specific festival featuring a craft tradition, a programme for different age groups and food options will be at the heart of your visit.

Mountain animals at Biofattoria Bisele

Biofattoria Bisele offers another facet of Canove di Roana. Visitors can observe mountain animals such as deer, foxes, hares, buzzards and kites there. This opportunity adds a nature-focused experience to the historical and cultural themes. Together with the trails on foot or by bicycle, it creates a picture of the town in which history, festive traditions and experiences of the landscape exist side by side.
