Extensive and articulated gully basin engraved in the "Scagliose Clays", limited to the south and west by Pliocene sandstone walls. Different colors and numerous deformation structures inside the clays are observed. The path passes over the gullies and allows a suggestive view.

Splendid passage between the Calanchi, overlooking the cultivated fields and the woods. Autumn colors make the landscape even more beautiful. Absolutely to do !!

They are the Calanchi di Montemaggiore, a trap from which it is really hard to escape when wet, but otherwise a passage of unparalleled charm, for the calanchi themselves and thanks to the vast inclined plane of the vineyards lying down to the east of the passage, an epiphany! As a dirt road it also represents a very valid connection between the area of San Lorenzo in Collina, San Martino, Pradalbino and the Samoggia Valley between Stiore and Savigno, thanks to the path that, among the vineyards of the Botti winery, descends into that valley from the Church of Montemaggiore.
