モンテルキの峠・トップ5

Climb from Palazzo del Pero to Passo della Dogana (towards S. Maria alla Rassinata), about 6 km of climbing with sections at 13%, a piece of about 500-600m is all above 11% with hairpin bends. The road is very quiet because there is little traffic. Views of the Valdichiana from above and of the Val Cerfone. Done on a windy day but the wind could be felt on the plain and then at the top, not on the climb which is more sheltered.

Rassinata side is cold and damp in off-season. wear warm clothes. Beautiful descent toward Ansina with a lot of curves. Check breaks before descending.

Ideal route for road cycling. From the top passes the CAI 50 path that goes from Trasimeno to La Verna.

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!

Murcia del Soldato is located at the crossroads of the paths coming from Poggio Sorbiglione, Petriolo and Marzana, the itinerary that is often followed in the direction of Monte Favalto. The legend tells of the story of a young soldier who had been at war for some years fighting with courage, who escaped death several times and had the desire to return home. Wounded in the shoulder he walked home and when he finally saw the house in the distance, arrived at the crossroads, he stopped to rest. The following morning some shepherds found him lifeless just where he had thought to rest, a few steps from the much agonized house and they thought of burying him there. It is tradition that anyone who passes by throws a stone in memory of the poor soldier.

Must be driven absolutely unbedingt

Quiet stretch to enjoy.

From Palazzo del Pero towards Castiglion Fiorentino, a road traveled by thousands of cyclists. The roar of the stream water, the woods and the little traffic make it an ideal route
