The places and connections in the area each offer a different focus.

Archaeological traces and historic places

Pagnano d’Asolo is one of the places in the Asolo area with the oldest known prehistoric settlement traces to date. Mammoth remains were found at Ponte di Pagnano, where the Erega and Muson streams meet. This brings together two archaeological points of interest: early settlement traces and a mammoth find at a named confluence.

A much later point of reference is Villa Filippin Zambaldi. It stands in the historic center of Pagnano d’Asolo and dates to the mid-18th century. In chronological terms, the settlement traces reach back to prehistoric times, while the villa can be assigned to a specific period of construction.

The Maglio di Pagnano complex lies at the foot of the Asolo hill. It includes a forge, a rear service building, and a residence. The Chiesa di San Gregorio was a historic meeting place for the “Uomini de Comun,” who administered Pagnano during the podestà of Asolo. This role describes the church as a site connected to local administrative history.

Noè Bordignon painted a fresco in 1874 in the Chiesa dei Santi Cosma e Damiano in Pagnano d’Asolo. It is dedicated to the holy physicians and the resurrection of the flesh. Another historical discovery concerns the Chiesa di Pagnano d’Asolo: during restoration work in 1961, two tombs were found beneath the floor. The Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista in Pagnano has a viewpoint.

Walking trails, cycling route and nature

The Sentiero degli Ezzelini can be accessed from the parking lot opposite the Maglio di Pagnano. At the Maglio, the trail connects with the Sentiero del Lastego. The Sentiero degli Ezzelini passes through changing natural landscapes between the plain, hills and foothills. This means that the same trail offers a specific access point, a connection to another named walking trail, and a varied landscape setting.

An easy circular walk starts in Asolo and follows the Sentiero degli Ezzelini to the Chiesa di San Giovanni and the Maglio di Pagnano d’Asolo. For a cycling trip, the Ciclovia di Sant’Antonio is another specific route: after leaving Asolo, it follows the BI12 to Ponte di Pagnano. The walk leads to two named buildings; the cycling route continues as far as Ponte di Pagnano. Check current route conditions before setting out.

The area around the Muson dei Sassi also offers a connection with nature: it is considered favorable for little egrets and gray herons, with shallow water, small fish and calm conditions. As sightings can vary, do not plan on seeing herons as a fixed part of your itinerary.
