Santa Augusta path

This route in Vittorio Veneto starts exactly from Piazza Flaminio, in the center of Serravalle. From here we will face the "staircase" that leads us to the Santuario di S. Augusta, one of the most evocative and mystical places in the Vittoriese area. From the Sanctuary, we briefly resume the uphill path and turn towards Case Sassi. The views are exceptional and allow us to admire the evocative Costa di Fregona. Upon reaching the junction for the hamlet, we take via Vinera and descend on the north side of the vineyard to cross the rio Borghel. We will emerge in Borgo Sfadigà. From here we climb towards Piadera on a steep paved ascent. Upon arriving in Piadera, we find a crossroads: one path descends towards the Caglieron caves, another rises towards the Costa di Fregona. We follow the main road uphill to reach the “Ristorante Dal Selvaggio”, where we will make a pleasant detour, just before the restaurant, to reach the little church of San Maman. From the evocative little church, we climb along a path that after about 200 m reaches a gravel road which we will follow until we reach the paved road. Slightly uphill is the Piadera Astronomical Observatory. We will return to the crossroads and take the descending path also marked as Ippovia. We will follow it downhill along a splendid paved path that reaches Rindola. Continuing downhill we will pass beside a monumental white poplar and arrive at the little church of Madonna della Tosse, which deserves a short visit. From here we will continue to Borghel and then reach the square of S. Andrea di Bigonzio. A few hundred meters and we will return to Piazza Flaminio in Serravalle.
