WLK02 Petrara – Pianello

/ Walks

A short and easy hike, consisting of just one climb and one descent. The initial stretch follows a dirt road along the Palombara Valley, then descends along Via Cupa, a pleasant dirt road with beautiful views of the jagged rocky slopes of Monte Roma. It skirts the hills of Poggio Pantano and Poggio Pantanello and passes through Petrara and Pianello, two hamlets of Serra Sant'Abbondio. It's said to be frequented by wolves, but I only encountered a small group of friendly roe deer.

MTB07 Monte Nerone southeast

/ MTB-Gravel

The route explores the eastern and southern slopes of the Monte Nerone massif. The climb winds through a narrow, wooded valley, before the view opens up toward the Furlo Gorge and Mounts Petrano and Catria. The Bosso River valley is also magnificent, always captivating for its diverse and dense vegetation and the presence of the stream that runs alongside the road. It can also be ridden on a gravel bike, but the surface is quite rough in some sections; a mountain bike is preferable.

A classic route that circumnavigates the southern slope of Monte Nerone, characterized by numerous limestone outcrops along its steep slopes. The road passes between two of the most impressive and interesting rocky outcrops, Sasso del Re and Sasso della Rocca, characterized by vertical walls used as climbing walls. The summit is covered with patches of beech forest and vast meadows where numerous cattle and horses graze. Everywhere you look, you'll find panoramic views of the nearby mountains, the ridges (Serre) that mark the border between the Marche and Umbria regions, and the rocky face of Cimaio.
