Church of the Madonna delle Grazie located in Castelfranco, in the municipality of Pietralunga (Pg) near the border with the Province of Pesaro, between Umbria and Marche. The church stands a short distance from the Castelfranco Pass, at an altitude of 769 meters above sea level, along the road that was once used to cross the Apennines and pass from the Adriatic side (Bosso river basin) to the Tyrrhenian side that leads to the Tiber plain and vice versa. In front of the church on the pavement there is a stone (see photo) that indicates the points of flow of rainwater; on one side towards streams and rivers that in their path carry water to the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the other towards the Adriatic

To be avoided like the plague on weekends, it feels like being in Mugello

At the top of the hill that begins in Città di Castello and, on the other side from Apecchio, there is a bar, restaurant with excellent toilet facilities.

Bocca Serriola is an Apennine pass of 730 meters which divides the Biscubio valley from the Tiberina valley. It is located in the municipality of Città di Castello, a few kilometers from the border between the provinces of Perugia and that of Pesaro and Urbino.

The Sp 106 della Baucca begins just on the northern outskirts of Città di Castello and leads to Pietralunga. 15 km of constant ascent with gradually more challenging slopes up to peaks of 14%. It climbs over 700 m near the loc. Perrubbio, but to get to Pietralunga you still have to go up ... watch out for the 🐗🐗 crossing the road!
