Holiday apartment in Campese: paths, valleys and culture

Campese combines striking landscapes with paths and cultural sites. Le Stue, Val Vecchia and Strada Campesane reveal different sides of the surrounding area; the Church of Santa Croce and the paths to Monte Caina provide further focal points. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Campese, you can therefore plan your stay around nature experiences, hikes or cultural discoveries.

Holiday apartment in Campese between the valley and terraced landscape

Le Stue is a spring at the entrance to the Canale di Brenta and is connected with the local water system. Above Campese, the Val Vecchia valley opens on the right bank of the Canale di Brenta. Its structured terraced landscape is now farmed only in part and gives the valley a distinctly rural character.

North of the village, Strada Campesane runs along the right bank of the Brenta. Here too, the landscape is shaped by terraces. Together with Val Vecchia, it creates a setting of valleys, riverside areas and agriculturally shaped slopes. For your planning, this combination offers concrete points of interest if, while staying in Campese, you want to explore not just one individual destination but different types of landscape.

Hiking paths to Monte Caina and through the valleys

Sentiero CAI 762 leads from Campese to Monte Caina. The path reaches the summit, where there is a war memorial and a statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The route therefore combines the mountain landscape with two distinctive points at the summit, which can be included in your hiking plans without requiring another destination.

Sentiero CAI 763 also begins in Campese and leads to Monte Caina. This path is listed as taking approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to walk; its difficulty is classified as E. These specific details help you consider this hike separately from other routes around Campese and plan your available time accordingly.

An old path into the San Martino Valley begins beside the outer apse of the Church of San Martino in Campese. In addition, the Alta Via del Tabacco is an ethnonaturalistic hiking trail connecting Campese, Campolongo and Valstagna. From Contrada Castelvecchio, paths lead to Montagna Campesana and Caina, as well as across the meadows to the village of San Martino and the Rea springs.

Culture and special places in Campese

Campese is home to the Church of Santa Croce, the monastery and the tomb of Teofilo Folengo (1491–1544). The tomb is located in a chapel to the left of the presbytery of the Church of Santa Croce. This precise location connects Campese’s religious architecture with a historically identifiable person.

In the immediate surroundings of Campese are the Museo dell'Automobile "Bonfanti-VIMAR", a car museum, Castello degli Ezzelini, a castle, Palazzo Bonaguro, a palace, and the Museo degli Alpini, a museum. This means that travel planning can encompass different cultural themes in addition to paths and valleys.

There are also scenic destinations in the immediate surroundings of Campese: Cave di Rubbio is a cave, while Col del Gallo is a mountain. The area around Campese also includes Monte Palla and Col d'Astiago, both mountains. These names provide further ways to structure your stay beyond Campese’s immediate paths.

The right accommodation for your travel plans

When choosing a holiday apartment in Campese, you can plan your days around specific destinations. Sentiero CAI 763 adds a walking time of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and difficulty level E to your plans, while CAI 762 connects the summit of Monte Caina with its war memorial and statue of Our Lady of Fatima. If you prefer landscapes, you can put Val Vecchia, Strada Campesane, Le Stue or the paths from Contrada Castelvecchio on your list. For cultural days, the churches and the tomb of Teofilo Folengo in Campese, as well as the museums, castle and palace in the immediate surroundings, take center stage.
