A pleasant walk of about 6 km along the slopes of the first hills of the Catria massif, near Cagli. A single climb leads to the highest point, then continues on a flat and downhill path. It passes the villages of Il Poggio, Montione, and Cabaldi, and the ancient parish church of Santo Stefano, now in ruins. Along the way, you can enjoy views of Frontone, the Fosso della Canala, and Mount Campifobio.
A long and challenging route that crosses all the main reliefs of the Catria massif. The variety of environments is extraordinary: meadows, beech forests, gorges and impervious rock faces. The final stretch leads to the Fonte Avellana monastery, the most important place of worship in the entire Pesaro hinterland and beyond. You can start from Acquaviva or Frontone, but Cagli is also a convenient base. The itinerary does not present any technical difficulties and can be easily covered even with a gravel bike.
