Bastione

The Bastion was built by Venetians at the end of 1507. It can be reached along an easy path to about 200 m a.s.l. (20 min). A steeper path brings you to the mountain hut Capanna Santa Barbara, managed by the Sat in Riva, a place for a break.
Continue to the church of the same name (625 m) and to the highest peaks of Rocchetta (1520 m):
magnificent view over Alto Garda.

Santa Barbara Church
The small Saint Barbara Church (m 625 – h 1,45 from Riva del Garda), was built in 1935 by the miners
that worked on the conduits of the Ponale plant. It is situated in a horrid and daring but panoramic
position, on the rocks of Mount Rocchetta where the penstocks of the Ponale plant began.
