Travellers go- inn N- from Botzen will find the road h-f Moran and the Finstennunz (llte, 213) far more interesting than the Brenner, hut the Inns are not good. |The pedestrian intending to de scend the valley of the Adige to Trent should not follow the post-road, but take in preference the cross-road run ning under the base of Sigmundskrone, through the valley of Kaltern, which ram K, parallel with that of the

Adige, but separated from it by an isolated mountain. On the way he will pass the commanding ruins of the castle of ffoch-Eppan, the owners of which, in the Hth centy., formidable rivals of the. counts of Tyrol, looked down from their donjon-keep upon 36 castles, chiefly held by feudal retainers of their Tht? y engaged in a deadly feud with the Bishop of Trent, and from thence may be dated the decay of the family, which became extinct in 1300. The road then passes through the vil lages

of St. Michael and Kaltern, which is the centre of a considerable wine- trade. (There is a difficult bridle-path from Kaltern over the Monte Mendola, into the Valley of Non, Kte. 220. ) The road, a little to the 8. of Kaltern, skirting along the W. shore of a small lake called the Kalterer-See, leads by Kurtatsch and Kurtinig to the river Adige at 8»hitn. This route is about 9 m. longer than the post-road, but far more agreeable, and easily accom plished in one day.] The Eisack runs by the side of the post

-road for a short distance out of Botzen, then turns to the W. to join the Adige (Germ. Etsch; Lat. A thesis). The flat plain forming the bottom of the valley (Thal-sohle) is productive of maize, mulberries for silkworms, and miasmata; indeed, the fevers produced by the latter are so fatal as to gain the name of Leiferer-Tod, from the village of Leifers —the point whence pilgrims ascend out of the vale of the Adige, to visit the celebrated shrine of our Lady of the Weissen stein. At 2 Branzoll the

Adige first becomes navigable for rafts. The porphyry mountains, which line the valley from Botzen, give place to limestone at 2 Neumarkt (Ital, Egna.) (Inn AH’ Angiolo, or Albergo Keale, tolera ble), an unhealthy village, of 1100 In hale, communicating by a bridge over the Adige with a road leading to Kaltern. A road runs E. from this into the very interesting Fleimserthal (Kte. 221), ascending the Trudnerthal, and passing through Montan, Truden (Trodcno), over the Zislonberg to Dajano, and

Below Salurn the limestone mountains contract the valley into a defile, called Die Schanzc, forming a strong military post in time of war. General Joubert avoided it in 1797, by conducting the

French army up the Fleimser Thai, round to Neumarkt.

On a hill called Dostrent, anciently Dorsum Tridentum, west of the city, there formerly stood a temple of Neptune, and the ruins of a castle built by the Lombards still remain. Southward of Trent, the German language gives place to the Italian, which is generally spoken. Surrounded by lofty mountains, the situation of Trent is very beautiful: the Adige traverses the plain immediately above it, and waters the walls of the city. In almost

every point of view Trent is picturesque; but from no place is it more striking than from the ascent to Monte Porgine, where the city, and the windings of the river, are seen beneath the observer, with the mountains which bound the plain, extending to the horizon, and closing, in the distance, the valley of the Adige.* From Trent a road leads to Arco and thence to Riva, at the head of the Lago di Guarda.

The scenery throughout the route from Botzen to Milan, which the author now proposes to illustrate, is rich and varied, abounding in the sublime, the beautiful, and the picturesque, from the glaciers of the Ortler-Spitz to the shores of the lake of Como, and through the rich valleys of the Adige and the Adda. Botzen is situated in the

former valley, near the confluence of the Eisach and the Adige, in a little plain of great fertility, where, beneath the shelter of surrounding mountains, the pomegranate ripens, and the fruits of northern Italy abound. In ascending the vale of the Adige to Meran, the richness of the country, and the luxuriant productiveness of the soil, cannot fail to attract the attention of the traveller; and the old castles, so common in the Tyrol, are in no part of it

The pass of Chiusa is a remarkable, but unpicturesque defile through which the Adige has forced its way, leaving no space’ for a road but what has been artificially obtained, where the rock has been cut away and overhangs the passage. Here there was formerly a fort, which defended the frontiers of the Venetian territories: it has now been dismantled. After passing a short way beneath lofty and perpendicular rocks, the traveller leaves all semblance of hills, and proceeds, through Volargno and

Trent is generally an object in these views, and it is seen in the distance, even from the summit of this pass, far beyond the deep defile that lies beneath the road, through which a torrent descends that falls into the Adige, near Trent* After crossing the ridge, the road winds down to a rich valley, in which the pleasant village of Porgine is situated : shortly afterwards, the route skirts the sequestered lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico, which are formed by the
