Vie ferrate in Bella Italia - Day II

I nearly overslept and had just 10 min for breakfast that was better than dinner. We drove in direction of Lago di Ledro and parked the cars in Biacesa (418 m). 

From there we followed the road uphill to the fork of "Sentèr dei Bech". This trail went through the wood and along the southern slopes of La Rocca.

On the way up to the chapel San Giovanni (858 m) we climbed the first via ferrata "Sentiero delle Laste"  (easy). The ferrata was still in the forest and interrupted several times by normal hiking passages.

From the chapel we took the "Sentiero Foletti" (difficulty A/B) that crossed the rock wall and rounded the la Rocca a bit more. The end was very easy. 

 Then we went on "sentiero Foletti" (difficulty A/B) and headed up to the top of La Rocca (1090 m).

After a break on the top for pictures, relaxing and food, we got our lamps out and headed down the last via ferrata for today - "Sentiero dei Camminamenti" (difficulty A/B). This one led through caves in the mountains that were used during the world wars. 

 In one cave, we had to climb down a long ladder. Beware of the dead ends.

Back at the chapel, we used the normal trail down back to the car. In Arco, we ordered big ice-cream cups to reward ourselves. In the hotel after another round in the pool, we learned about knots, ropes and mountain weather.
