In this place you can still see the remains of the “Third Line”, a system of bunkers and trenches that represented the last fortified defense of the Camonica Valley during the First World War. Built to block the Austrian advance towards Brescia, it was constructed between 1916 and 1918 with kilometers of trenches, roads and military mule tracks, as well as impressive works of war engineering, much of which are still visible today.

The town of Sonico stands on a hill, on the left bank of the Oglio, on the banks of the Valli Grandi stream. All around, on the slope to the east as in the stretches of plain, you can see ancient fields, meadows, copses and centuries-old fruit-bearing chestnut groves. In the medieval historic center with Piazza IV Novembre there are towers and houses of the Federici di Sonico, the parish church of San Lorenzo, the small church of San Giuseppe, while to the north, just beyond the Pradella district, stands the sanctuary of the Madonna known as Pradella . In the second half of the 20th century, urban development took place especially on the slope sloping down towards the state road, along its variants.

The Sonico powder magazine was designed in 1906 and it was especially during the Second World War that its history became tragically important. The partisans from Mortirolo carried out numerous incursions to understand the actual presence of weapons, explosives and ammunition. On 28 March 1945 some partisans were instructed to go down to warn the population, through the parish priests of Garda and Rino, that the allies were about to bomb the powder magazine where the German war arsenal was kept. Around 1pm on March 29, 1945, the powder magazine was bombed. Since then the skeleton of what was the place of death has remained on the site. Now the powder magazine has been restored, leaving the skeleton in the open air as it has been seen for 70 years by those passing by on the road between Sonico and Rino. On Republic Day it was returned to history and memory, entering the great circuit of places of remembrance.

Malonno is a medieval center that still retains numerous traces of its past: towers, stately buildings such as Palazzo Celeri-Martinengo (15th-18th century), the smelting furnace and the remains of the ancient aqueduct. The town stands on the first slopes of the western side of the valley, which here begins to widen, distributed in numerous hamlets with a solid agricultural tradition located on various hills and terraces raised on the course of the Oglio river.

the great sculpture that depicts the mythological effigy of the Basalisc! It appears half-hidden on the hillock, as if it were a lurking predator, and in all its grandeur, as soon as you arrive at the square in front of the Chalet Pineta: just turn your gaze towards the Concarena massif.

Lago Salarno is a beautiful alpine lake with a circular shape and is closed by an imposing dam. It can be found along the mule track that leads to the Prudenzini refuge in the valley of the same name.

Lake Dosazzo lies in a basin of glacial origin in Val Salarno along the mule track that leads to the Prudenzini refuge. The lake appears to be natural, in reality it was created artificially. It seems that its name derives from the translation of the dialectal toponym Dusass, or two stones.
