Monte Campolongo
Description
The tour starts in Marostica, a small neighboring town near Bassano del Grappa. From here, the route rides north on asphalt, steadily uphill through the serpentines of the foothills of the Alps. With every meter of altitude gained, the view down to Veneto and the Mediterranean improves, while the overview becomes ever more magnificent. The route continues through Contra Mori and Contra Rossi to the first ridge. The route continues on asphalt and then on gravel along a forest path towards the summit area of the tour. At Casara Giarella, you reach the single trail and follow it along trenches, caverns and military buildings towards Monte Campolongo. From the summit, there is a breathtaking view of the Valbrenta and the old fortifications.
The descent begins with easy hairpin bends at S1 level towards Valleranetta. From there, the next historic path starts, which was used both in wartime and for tobacco production. The descent is at S2 and S3 difficulty level up to Casa Torna. In the upper section of the traverse, some gravel banks may appear after storms, and a short section is secured by ropes. From Casa Torna, the route then rides down into the valley at S2 and S3 level. The last few meters of trail are somewhat more selective due to the stream. Once you reach the Fiume Brenta, the route continues along the river on a cycle path and easy single trails towards Bassano del Grappa. From there, the loop closes and rides back to Marostica.

Upper trails easy and beautiful, from the alpine pasture area first a short stream bed, then several rubble mountains on the way, then the path is easy down, if it is not wet and greasy and often overgrown, the lower serpentines are bumpy with many large stones, the stream bed is a 100 hm stone scree slide.
Thanks for the information. Due to the high amount of precipitation in the region this year, the lower part is affected.

I rode the route to km 24 and then (unfortunately) turned right.
If anyone has the same idea and wants to ride the trail along the contour line, it was horrendous.
Very narrow, blocked and exposed.
But the part above is not without its challenges either...
Panorama: Super!
Trails: mixed.
yes, the variant is a bit more challenging than the GPS track.
