From the Sasso Marconi railway station we immediately take the path connecting with the Via degli Dei. We cross the Pliocene Contrafforte Reserve, an area of great geological and naturalistic interest, rich in marine fossils, witnesses of an ancient gulf present in this area in the Pliocene era (between 5 and 2 million years ago). The route then includes reaching the summit of Monte Adone (654 m), the latter appreciable for the view of the surroundings and for its geological peculiarity (Pliocene sandstones). From here we descend in the direction of Brento, a hamlet in the municipality of Monzuno, from which we continue along the paved road towards Monterumici. The area still has the remains of fortifications from the Gothic line. Once at the bus stop, wait for line 827 (Vado Stazione- Monzuno) which allows us to reach Monzuno by cutting off the last km of paved road.
