Magical place, huge monoliths, smooth dirt road, what more could you want?

It's not Lunano, but Belforte!

Wonderful single track immersed in the woods. The trail starts immediately with a steep passage, then simple for the entire duration. After crossing the dirt road the Ripa dei Falchi begins, shortly before, however, there is a wall of 50-60 meters to face. No problem with e-bikes, with the muscular I did it mostly by pushing the bike. The trail ends directly in the center of Belforte.

Historic buildings of Carpegna

The Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna is a majestic 17th-century residence located in the heart of the town of Carpegna, in the Marche region. The construction of the palace began in 1674 at the behest of Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna, who wanted a more modern and comfortable residence than the old fortified fortress.

The interiors are spread over four levels with numerous rooms including the Throne Room and the reception rooms furnished with original period furniture, the library with ancient family documents, the stables, the mews and the kitchens with enormous wood-fired ovens. In August, the stables host the “Mostra dell’Artigianato Artistico del Montefeltro”. Next to the palace you can admire a fountain made from an ancient tomb.

In the center of the town stands the imposing Palazzo dei Principi di Carpegna Falconieri, designed by the Roman architect Giovanni Antonio De' Rossi for Cardinal Gaspare di Carpegna. The palace, begun in 1675 and completed after over twenty years, is inspired by the fortified villas of Florentine origin and the large noble residences of the Roman countryside. It is still inhabited by the descendants of the thousand-year-old family and has remained almost intact after over 300 years, a fire and some strong earthquakes (1781).

The town extends in length along the southern slopes of the mountain of the same name, at 748 m above sea level, and is a climatic station frequented in summer for its mild and dry climate. ... The name probably derives from the Latin silva carpinea, or "hornbeam forest". The hornbeam, both white and black, is in fact a very common tree in the woods of Carpegna.
