Asiago TablelandFrom Vezzena Pass to M. Ortigara , along the traces of Austrian-Hungarian Empire
The Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Seven cities highland, aka Asiago tableland) is a big range of sweet meadows and woods that borders, to the South, the Valsugana (Brenta river valley).
Its N border is made by a long ridge that to the N has high rocky and very wild walls (1500m high), to the S slope down gently, at the beginning with wild stony walleys and ribs, then with a big band of meadows and, after the main road (from Vezzena to Asiago) ends to the S with big wooded ribs.
