Forts

Forte Gschwent-Belvedere di Lavarone
"Per Trento basto io!" was the motto which implied that this fort alone could defend the city from italian invasion. Mantenne believed in his pledges also because, aside from the bombardments on the first days of war, it never suffered other direct attacks. It was constructed between 1908 and 1914 in order to maintain control of Val d'Astico, which was located in the valley directly below the fort. Of the seven fortresses located within the the encircling Altipiani, it is the only one which survived demolition brought forth by the fascist regime in the 1930's. The demolition campaign was called "Ferro alla Patria", however, thanks to the intervention of Re Vittorio Emanuele III, who insisted that at least one fort remain intact for future generations, it's still standing.
Tour guided groups are required to make a reservation.

Forte Cima Vezzena
Because of it's strategic position (1908 m) it has been called "l'occhio degli altipiani", which means eyes of the altipiani. It was in fact an artillery observation fort, which performed a fundamental function for the entire fortress line. Armed with still and turning machine guns, Fort Cima Vezzena was an example of the complex austro-hungarian construction: situated on the mountain's peak displaying it's courage for all to admire. From the clearing in front of the fort, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Trentino.

Forte Busa Vèrle
Rising to an altitude of 1554 m. just east of the Vezzena Pass in all it's splendor, you'll find Forte Busa Vèrle. Together with the observatory fort of Cima Vezzena, it's principle function was to hinder access from the Altipiani to the Val d'Assa, and from Asiago. Armed with 4 - 100 mm canons, 4 - 60 mm, and 2 - 80 mm, more than 20,000 projectiles were directed against italian enemy lines. At one time it was strongly bombarded by artillery fire from Fort Verena and from the mobile positions of Campomolòn. It is known to have accommodated the austrian writer Fritz Weber and the alpinista altoatesina director Luis Trenker at it's military post.

Forte Lusérn
Forte Lusérn (or Forte Cima Campo) was constructed between 1911 and 1914 in order to control the upper section of the Alta Val d' Assa together with Forte Busa Vèrle. In compliance with the observatory Fort Cima Vezzena and the fortified military post of Bassòn, it acted as a pillar for the so called "trincea d'acciaio", a defensive strategy which in august of 1915 rendered the italian's fruitless, leading way to a tragic loss of 1048 , including the dead, injured and prisoners.

Forte Sommo Alto
Together with fort Dosso delle Somme, it was known as one of the central posts for the strategic military front of the Altipiani. Centralized on three levels, it was equipped with 3 turning steel domes, 2 - 150 mm cannons , small caliber cannons and 20 machine gun posts. The exterior of the fort was encircled with a barbed wire fence for added protection.

Forte Cherle
This fort represented the third armed central post of the altopiano folgaretano. It was furnished with 6 - 100 mm cannons mounted on turning turrets, an armoured observatory, 2 - 60 mm cannons , and a series of machine gun posts. Located on the grounds, you'll find the ruins of the fortress cemetery, the mysterious "scala dell’imperatore", and the ex-military hospital.

Forte Dosso delle Somme
Constructed between 1907 and 1914, this fort consisted of three principal structures connected by tunnels excavated in the rock. A reinforcement of concrete and ferro of 2 1/2 meters protected the structure from italian artillery fire coming from Pasubio. It's armament consisted of 4 - 100 mm cannons mounted on turning turrets and 22 machine gun posts.

La Scala dell’Imperatore
A stony passageway climbing from an asphalted street, in the proximity of Forte Cherle, and following a steep woody hillside to a summit where you'll find the ruins of a military hospital. It is known as the Scala dell'Imperatore (emperor's climb) because it was constructed in honor of the hereditary prince Carlo d'Asburgo in occasion of his visit to the military front.

Military cemeteries
A valley of cemeteries, downtown Folgaria contains the remains of 2503 austro-hungarian soldiers laid to rest in four large marble crypts. In Lavarone, it's cemetery is located in proximity of the town Slaghenaufi, in a quaint setting above the tiny town center, where 750 austro-hungarian soldiers are laid to rest. The military cemetery of Lucerna is located in the locality of Costalta, approximately 2 km from the center, along the road to the Vezzena pass. A wooden cross erected in 1962, due to an interest in an ex- austrian soldier Conrad Rauch, dominates the area. This cemetery contains the remains of austro-hungarian as well as italian soldiers, almost all of whom fell in the battle of Bassòn, August 24-25, 1915.
