Furlo

A sister route to the Monte Paganuccio route (itineraries 2 and 3), but taking place on Monte Pietralata, on the opposite side of the Furlo Gorge. Climbing Monte Pietralata offers the most beautiful view of the gorge, perfect for taking postcard-perfect photos. In late spring, with the help of many birdwatchers (powerful binoculars are required), you can observe the historic eagle's nest, where the chicks are being fed. The climb is moderate and steady, with the upper section of the route passing through patches of woodland and meadows. On the return journey, you pass the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Pelingo, a popular destination for pilgrimages. The road is never particularly rough, making it suitable for both mountain bikes and gravel bikes.
