Fountain at Pascolo dei Tedeschi

Highlight • Monument

The start is located at the base of another climb, that of Madonna del Bosco, the maximum gradients are 8% but only for short stretches, otherwise it does not exceed 5/6%. The length is 1.4 km and at the top there is the iconic fountain. From this point you can choose whether to continue uphill (left via San Sebastiano but harder) or, straight ahead via the gentle and panoramic via Marieni to then have fun towards other branches that will not disappoint.

View of the Bergamo Hills

Highlight • Viewpoint

A detour up the mountain is definitely worth it, despite the additional meters in altitude, as you will be rewarded with a great view of Bergamo.

Water fountain at the Colli di Bergamo

Highlight • Rest Area

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the waterfalls. But make sure to stay on the road in the further course and not to take the supposedly shorter route. Steep cobblestones await you there and that's no fun!

San Giacomo Gate

Highlight • Monument

In the past Porta San Giacomo represented the entrance to the Upper Town for those arriving from Milan. This is the only access to the Walls that is perfectly visible from viale Vittorio Emanuele, the axis that crosses Bergamo Bassa from south to north. As with the other entrances to the city, the Lion of San Marco, symbol of Venetian domination, dominates this one as well. It is one of the most photographed places in Bergamo: leaning against the balustrade you will enjoy a beautiful view of the Venetian fortifications and of the Lower Town and of the plain up to the Apennines.
