Asiago: Nature Trails, Museums and Nearby Destinations
Accommodation in Asiago
Asiago Between Observatory and History
The Cima Ekar observatory station in Asiago is operated by the INAF Astronomical Observatory of Padua. It is equipped with the 1.82-metre Copernico telescope and a fully robotic Schmidt 67/92 wide-field telescope.
The former prison in Asiago now houses the Museo Le Carceri. The museum regularly hosts themed exhibitions on the art, history and traditions of the Asiago Plateau. The name Museo Le Carceri thus keeps the building’s historical origins present in its name.
Easy Trails and Varied Routes
The Sentiero del Maestro Patrizio is an approximately 3.7-kilometre-long, easy circular trail with gentle inclines, suitable for families. The Sentiero del Maestro Patrizio passes through beech forests, spruce forests, pastures and alpine ponds. Its approximate length and easy profile provide a clear framework for planning the route without specifying a fixed walking time.
