Dermulo: Gorge Trails, Lakeside and Culture
Accommodation in Dermulo
Church Art and Trails to the Gorge
On the rear wall of the Church of Chiesa dei Santi Filippo e Giacomo in Dermulo is a fragment of a fresco attributed to the Bohemian painter Maestro Venceslao. If you would like to combine architecture and history with outdoor activities, Dermulo offers an introduction through both a sacred detail and its trails.
Hiking and Cycling Around Dermulo
The Eremo di Santa Giustina trail passes through the Forra di Santa Giustina. The gorge is recognised as a Site of Community Importance (SCI). Nature and physical activity come together here in a landscape whose protected status is part of the character of the trail.
The Eremo di Santa Giustina loop trail is 15.5 kilometres long in total and runs between Taio and Dermulo. This distance is an important factor when planning your day. You can therefore consider the outing a longer loop and take the route between the two places into account in your plans.
From the church in Dermulo, Trail 529 leads through the forest to the Eremo di Santa Giustina in about 10 minutes. The stated walking time makes this connection a separate, compactly described section starting from Dermulo. This gives you both the loop trail and Trail 529, with its specific time indication, to consider when planning.
There is also an approximately 2-kilometre-long cycling and walking path between the parish churches of the two districts, running between Taio and Dermulo. The approximate route length places this connection separately from the longer loop and appeals to visitors who would like to plan a shorter walk or cycle ride.
Lakeside, Sports and Gorge Experiences
Le Plaze di Dermulo is an equipped lakeside area on Lago di Santa Giustina for recreation and sports.
At Le Plaze di Dermulo, visitors can rent kayaks or take part in a guided excursion to the Novella Gorge. This offers two different ways to experience the area: an activity on the water and a guided outing into a gorge. Both options appeal to different interests, so you do not have to limit yourself to just one type of excursion.
