Ponte di Veja Site Features

The arch itself

A single natural span of limestone across the valley, best seen from the path below, which puts the whole thing overhead.

The caves

Several shelters and cavities in and around the arch, some of them Palaeolithic occupation sites.

The walk

A short marked path from the car park down to and under the arch, through beech and hornbeam woodland.

The Lessinia setting

Karst plateau country of dry valleys, sinkholes and stone-walled pasture, quite different from the vineyards an hour below.
