Out and about around Asiago - often in the rain.

It rained almost every day while we were in Asiago, but we still managed to get out for some enjoyable walks and a bike ride.


A walk up to Mount Zebio
From the summit looking down to a farmhouse and cafe. 

In a WWI trench on the summit of Mount Zebio, 1717m.


A war memorial on a nearby hill with some bits and pieces from the trenches.  Walking down afterward we were caught in a heavy hailstorm.

We hired mountain bikes and rode a 12km trail (and return) along an old railway line from Asiago to Campiello.

The old railway station - note that raincoats were needed yet again.

Another day walk, this time to Monte Fiore



The fog was building up rapidly at the summit of Monte Fiore, 1824.  I was very glad of my GPS to get us back to our car!

The fog turned to torrential rain, we just made it back to a farmhouse near our car and waited it out.  The farmer made the most of the opportunity to sell us a half round of his home-made cheese.
