To the left of Villa Rizzardi begins the dirt road that ends in Villa (on the right). With your back to the large arched portal, descend briefly and take the paved road uphill to the left; at the crossroads, turn left and continue to Castel.

Take the slightly downhill dirt road that starts in front of the large wooden door of the complex. You enter a short stretch cemented and then left in via Calcarole up to a crossroads characterized by a column. On the lower left you can see the church of San Peretto.

Continue straight on via Rovereti, first on asphalt and then on a downhill path, until the walls of Villa Rovereti, to be skirted to the right until the end. Return via via degli Alpini or one of the other two parallel avenues.

duration 1h30 ', distance 4.70 km, difference in altitude 130m

Turning your back on the Negrar Town Hall, turn right and cross the bridge over the "progno" (waterway), going along via San Martino on the left and then the tree-lined avenue on the right to Villa Rizzardi in Pojega. Climb right on via Guglielmi and via Calcarole to the crossroads with a stone column.

Going straight down Via Crosetta and immediately turning right at the wall (lawn and then steps), you reach the Church of San Peretto. At the bottom take left for about 250m. and, at the curve, continue straight uphill (asphalt then dirt) to Villa La Sorte (on the left). Go back on the same road to the center of San Peretto and go up on the right in via Crosetta.

Once at the crossroads at the top of the hill, take via Rovereti on the left, first on asphalt and then on a downhill path, up to the walls of Villa Rovereti to be skirted right to the end. Return via via degli Alpini or one of the other two parallel avenues.

 

ITINERARY 3

Jaga - Villa Spinosa

duration 1h15 ', distance 4.20km, difference in altitude 110m

With your back to the Negrar Town Hall, take the road next to the church on the left and go up Via Marconi. Turn left for the "shortcut" uphill (via don Piccoli).

Continue for a few meters and cross the narrow village of Jago to the right until the sixteenth-century Villa Pigari-Dall'Ora outside which there is another nice washhouse. Return to the same path at the crossroads and continue keeping to the right until the Villa Spinosa complex.

Take the path, partly in concrete and partly in the ground, which starts from the stone slab wall of the gate of the villa and which, with a circular, flat and slightly downhill path, crosses the vineyards and comes out at a crossroads with a sink to the left. Go straight and turn left in via Salgari to the center of the town.
