Holiday apartment in Tacconi: cycle paths and fortress history

The circular route Cammino del Bardolino CdB14 starts in Località Tacconi and returns there afterwards. Together with other cycling connections, this starting point provides an interesting basis for days spent between landscapes and cultural history. If you are planning a stay in a holiday apartment in Tacconi, you can therefore organise your trip around specific routes, historic sites and the different themes of the surrounding area.

Cycle paths between Tacconi, Calmasino and Cordevigo

The circular route Cammino del Bardolino CdB14 leads from Località Tacconi via Via Bardolina to Calmasino, then passes under Strada regionale 450 and the A22 motorway to Località Cordevigo, before returning in the direction of Località Tacconi. Itinerario 11, “Dalla città al lago sulla strada Bardolina”, runs along cycle paths and side roads with little traffic. After the town of Tacconi, a side road heading west passes under the A22 motorway. The route “Connessione tra Chievo e Lago di Garda” also passes through Tacconi and along Strada Bardolina.

Fortresses and the telegraph in historic Pastrengo

The fortified field of Pastrengo includes Forte di Piovezzano, three forts on the hills of Pastrengo and the Optical Telegraph. It stands on Colle di San Martino in Pastrengo and is a two-storey, hexagonal building that was connected to Verona, more precisely to Castelvecchio, and Monte Baldo. Route 2 in Pastrengo connects the viewpoint at the sites of the attack, Carlo Alberto’s Rustico, the Forte Leopold barracks, the Optical Telegraph and Forte Nugent.

Tacconi was one of the settlements in Pastrengo that lay in an important commercial transport zone until the middle of the 19th century. The memory of the Carica dei Carabinieri is also part of this historical context: the 178th and 179th anniversaries were scheduled for 30 April 2026 and 30 April 2027, respectively.

Hills, plain and agricultural character

The gently sloping hills of Pastrengo’s moraine amphitheatre and the plain of Pol are criss-crossed by a dense network of easy paths. These paths run past old farmsteads and villas from the Venetian period, as well as Austrian fortifications. The landscape, historic buildings and routes thus form a shared thematic framework that supports both active days and more leisurely discoveries.

The local character also includes Azienda Agricola Tacconi in Pastrengo. Since 1960, the family-run business has been involved in raising poultry and rabbits for sale, as well as egg production. Since 2016, the business has had a slaughtering department for meat. This agricultural connection complements Tacconi’s historical and landscape features without limiting the area to a single type of travel experience.

Plan your holiday apartment in Tacconi around your interests

When choosing accommodation in Tacconi, you can therefore weigh up different ideas for each day: the CdB14 circular route with its return to Località Tacconi, Itinerario 11 with its cycle paths and side roads, or the cultural and historical sites along Route 2. If you are travelling with children of different ages, the easy paths provide a clear basis for planning, while the forts, telegraph and old farmsteads offer additional topics for discussion and discovery.
