プレダッピオの洞窟・トップ17

Varied, beautiful, scenically interesting ridge route that can be hiked even in challenging weather conditions.

Situated at 400 metres above sea level on a tuff ridge between the valleys of the Rabbi and Bidente Ronco rivers, it is a destination to be conquered by all bikers. It can be reached from Meldola, Predappio or Forlì with various routes through vineyards and cultivated fields with breathtaking views and with sections of slopes of up to 14%.

It's a shame it can no longer be visited!

Historic building not open to visitors, the open garden at the back is very suggestive

Monte Poggiolo is a hill near Forlì, with an altitude of 212 metres (692 ft) overlooking the valley of the Montone river. At the top of Monte Poggiolo stands a medieval fortress, known as the Rocca di Montepoggiolo, built in 1471 by the Florentine architect Giuliano da Maiano. The site is also important archaeologically for the discovery of thousands of Paleolithic artefacts, dating back to around 850,000 years ago, making them the oldest evidence of human habitation in Italy.

Always a characteristic panorama, it is worth the visit.

Because there is a beautiful panoramic terrace where you can take some photos

Fortress built between the Bidente and Voltre valleys, from the top of the hill on which the tower stands it is possible to control both valleys with a view that extends as far as the sea. The nearby castles of Teodorano, Meldola and Rocca Caminate are clearly visible Castle documented since 900, which belonged to the Calboli and known by the name of Castrum novi. From the ancient nucleus there remain imposing ruins of the tower, located in a dominant position at the top of the hill, a cluster of houses which probably included the town hall and the hospital of Sant'Antonio, and about a hundred meters towards the valley the remains of the bell tower of the parish church dating back to the 15th century. Reachable from Meldola at San Colombano take a detour to the left. Follow the road to a gravel pit. Here turn right, crossing a small bridge over the Bidente, and continue along the narrow dirt road that climbs the mountain with notable slopes. Or from the San Paolo in L'Aquilano - Montevescovo ridge then continuing on a narrow asphalt road (year 2024 closed due to landslide but can be bypassed on a carriage road)
