very scenic and fun road near Lake Trebecco

Beautiful ride between the provinces of PV and PC to do not immediately after a day of rain, terrain in parts clay and muddy. At km. 6.40 take the low variant because the one that gives the track is impassable.

The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montelungo is located in the parish of the Frazione di Ruino and is part of the Diocese of Piacenza - Bobbio. It stands on the extended ridge of a hill. Among the Marian sanctuaries in Italy, this one of Montelungo is certainly one of the oldest.

The famous Molato dam along the Tidone torrent.

Its history dates back to the time of Charlemagne, when in 774 the emperor donated the site of Montelungo to the Monastery of San Colombano, founded in Bobbio in the year 614. According to popular tradition, the church was built following the apparitions of the Madonna to a poor deaf-mute girl from Lagagnolo, who was then miraculously healed. The healed young woman was then asked to build a new sanctuary where the Madonna would perform many miracles. Over the years the church was rebuilt several times and of the original, the fresco from 1230 with the miraculous image of the Virgin and the Infant Child remains on the high altar.

Beautiful village on the hill where there is also a shop that offers assistance, rental and sale of e-bikes!
