Accessible Walks
Inspired by Caterina Consolaro e Giorgio Parise- Escursioni nel territorio di Marostica, Asterisco Group, 1994
Here you can find 5 accessible walks specifically designed for non-sportsmen who want to enjoy slowly the beauty of Marostica, without any stress and avoiding rough, stony or slippery routes. These trails are exactly suitable for people with mobility impairments using wheelchairs, families with babies and the elderly or simply for untrained people.
For this purpose, accessible routes were shaping up to be gentle strolls through the quiet and low-traffic municipal roads. Once those roads were cart tracks now transformed into comfortable hill roads. These rural hiking trails permit you to calmly enjoy amazing landscapes and panoramic views of the great plain that change colors at different times of the year.
