In late August, my 85 years-old father and I did a vacation near #Verona , #Italy which we thoroughly enjoyed, and I want to do something similar next year.
Right now, my destinations of choice would be #Trento or #Bologna , since
(a) It's possible to reach them by train within a day from my father's home, and
(b) They have sufficient hills or mountains in their hinterland which should be nice for #hiking - an activity that both my father and I enjoy.
However, I do have one concern - most hiking paths we encountered near Verona were fine, but there were some stretches which were filled with loose stones with a diameter of 10 cm or more - far more than the small gravel paths we are used to. If I was roaming these places on my own, it wouldn't bother me much - but my father's balance is not as great as it used to be, and I do not want him to have an accident.
So, does anyone around here have any experience with hiking near these cities?

Thanks! These days, I can largely get by with reading Italian texts, as long as I can look up the odd word or two somewhere.

Thanks!
As part of practicing the language, I have also started to read some Italian folk tale collections.
