ピエトラブルーナでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

There's something mystical about Mount Faudo: a trail of ancient stories, far back in time. Today, it's best known for the marathon trail that climbs from Imperia to its summit and for the antennas dotting it; yet for centuries, it was a contested land between the church, neighboring states, and the villages on its slopes. Since the ancient Ligurians, well before the Romans. It shares this burden with Mount Follia and Mount Sette Fontane. The oldest evidence of human settlement in the Dolcedo area is near Mount Follia, a conical peak on the southern slope of Mount Faudo. Traces of metalworking have emerged there, with furnaces and residential structures, dating back to the Iron Age castellari, fortifications placed high up for observation and defense, in visual contact with other castellari in the area. Today, the site is abandoned: one can still walk and imagine the defensive landscape of the ancient Ligurians.

Upon reaching the summit of Monte Follia, hikers will find a beautiful summit cross crowning the mountain. These are often massive wooden crosses, but this one was designed quite differently. It is made of iron or steel, and decorative ornaments are incorporated between the outlines of the longitudinal and transverse beams that define the cross shape, as well as at the four outer corners of the crossing point.

of the town there are three important things to visit: the castle, of which little remains in the central square, the adjacent church of Romanesque structure and the underlying fortified church just below the town. Witnesses of the importance of Lingueglietta as a fortified village halfway up the hill. The Via della Costa in gravel passes through here, as well as the numerous descents towards the sea on mule tracks with the MTB.

For the break

the first part of the path is VERY muddy because a small stream flows through it. So despite the easy difficulty, hiking boots are recommended! It hadn't rained for a long time before, so I assume it's always like this. Happy to confirm or refute :)) But it's still totally worth it!!

on sunny days after a period of heavy rains the non-stagnant water makes the pond particularly suggestive with its shades of green. You can see it in the photo, not retouched.
