ITINERARY 2 (carriage road until Campanine, after only footpath)
 
Museum/ Campanine (prehistoric rock art - Medieval settling - reconstruction of village)/Foppe di Nadro/return to Nadro or Campanine.
 
The entrance is at the beginning of Cimbergo; here a path continues to Upper Campanine. Going on one can visit the Figna section and come back to Foppe di Nadro.

Campanine is a large central area of the Reserve and connects Paspardo and Foppe di Nadro. This zone is characterized by big natural steps with high rock walls, alternated with fields holding, during the millennia, small villages with fences Figna area), now deserted.

Recent archaeological researches recognize almost 100 engraved rocks. Only about ten of these rocks are organized in the proposed itinerary.

This area begun to be engraved in the Late Neolithic (at the end of the IV millennium B.C.) and was abandoned during the following centuries (very few engravings between III and II millennia B.C.). Its utilization took again in the last century B.C. One can find also a rich and unique concentration of post-Camunian engravings, realized from the end of the Roman epoch to all the Middle Ages.

Along the itinerary that connects Campanine with Foppe di Nadro, one can visit two sites:

- Upper Campanine (rocks with prehistoric rock engravings).

- Lower Campanine (ethnographic area, with medieval living nuclei).
