Walk up 4,444 steps of Calà del Sasso, Italy
The Calà del Sasso is the path that connects the town of Valstagna, in the Brenta Canal, the fraction Sasso di Asiago, in the Plateau of the Seven Communities in the Province of Vicenza. Consisting of 4,444 steps, make it the longest staircase in Italy as well as the world's longest staircase open to the public.
The Calà del Sasso covers a levelling of 810 meters. The route is still largely supported by a ditch, made, as the steps themselves, in limestone: this ditch was used to transport timber downstream of the Plateau. Once in Valstagna, Calà del sasso ends near the river Brenta, where the logs were floated to Venice where they were used in the Arsenale for the construction of boats.
