Tacconi: Discover Routes and History

When planning a trip to Tacconi, three interests may shape your plans: Pastrengo’s fortification history, routes through hills and plains, and cycling routes that pass through Località Tacconi. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay focused on local history or tours, it is worth deciding on your priorities in advance. The individual routes differ in their course and character.

Fortifications and Historic Connections

Pastrengo’s fortified area includes Forte di Piovezzano, three forts on the hills above Pastrengo and the Optical Telegraph. The telegraph on Colle di San Martino is a two-storey, hexagonal building; it was connected to Verona (Castelvecchio) and Monte Baldo.

Route 2 in Pastrengo connects the viewpoint at the sites of the attack, Carlo Alberto’s Rustico, the Forte Leopold barracks, the Optical Telegraph and Forte Nugent. If you would like to visit individual sites, check their opening hours in advance.

Walking and Cycling Routes

The gently sloping hills of Pastrengo’s moraine amphitheatre and the Po plain are crisscrossed by a dense network of easy routes. These routes pass old farmsteads, villas dating from the Venetian period and Austrian fortifications. The landscape described along these routes thus brings together natural features and historic buildings.

The Cammino del Bardolino CdB14 circular route starts in Località Tacconi, follows Via Bardolina to Calmasino, passes beneath Strada regionale 450 and the A22 to Località Cordevigo, and then returns to Località Tacconi. Check trail conditions before setting out.

Itinerario 11, “Dalla città al lago sulla strada Bardolina,” runs along cycle paths and minor roads with little traffic. After the town of Tacconi, a minor road heading west passes beneath the A22. As the published itinerary is older, check the signage and conditions on site.

The “Connessione tra Chievo e Lago di Garda” route passes through Tacconi and along Strada Bardolina. Check route conditions before setting off.

Local History, Agriculture and Events

Tacconi was one of the localities of Pastrengo that lay within an important commercial transport zone until the mid-19th century. This historical context adds a perspective on the former importance of transport to the localities alongside the fortifications.
