Rovolon between hiking trails and historic villas

Rovolon combines trails through the landscape of the Colli Euganei with churches, villas and destinations in the surrounding region. If you would like to combine nature and culture, you will find various starting points for planning your trip here: trails lead through olive groves, maquis and valleys, while historic buildings offer insights into several centuries of history.

Hiking trails through the Colli Euganei

The Sentiero del Rialto (R5) leads to Colle Mottolo. From there, it offers a wide view of Monte Grande; the trail then continues through olive groves and the typical maquis of the Colli Euganei. The Sentiero di San Pietro (R6) begins on Via Manzoni next to Cantina Reassi. The parking area and trailhead are on the road from Rovolon to Carbonara.

The Sentiero Rosa dei Colli (R7) presents a different sequence of landscapes: it descends along Monte Sereo through a green valley and then reaches the cycle path. In the nature park around Frassanelle, there are sightseeing routes along paths to a grotto, a bamboo grove, a gorge and a neoclassical temple. This places trails through the landscape alongside nature-oriented sightseeing experiences.

Churches and historic buildings

The Chiesa di San Giorgio in Rovolon has been documented since 1077; its origins may date back to the 7th or 8th century. The church also has apse frescoes from the late 15th century.
