トレドーツィオの峠・トップ9

Magnificent pass on the ridge that divides the Montone and Rabbi valleys. Crossed by CAI path 401, corresponding at this point to the Cammino di Sant'Antonio.

The Valico del Manzo is a mountain pass located in the Romagna Apennines, along the SP25 of Valbura, the road connecting the Rabbi and Montone valleys. The road is winding and has many hairpin bends, but the breathtaking view helps you not think about the effort. The pass is also a starting point for excursions towards Monte Fumarolo and Monte Roncole, two peaks that offer spectacular views of the surrounding area.

Very scenic place in the Cesentinesi forest immersed in the trees and nature all around you. It’s a very tranquil area with very few cars and great roads to ride

The road up to the pass is very quiet and silent. The pass is located at 930 meters above sea level, hidden in the middle of the Casentino Forests. This passage has been known since ancient times. It was used by the Medici to take supplies of wood. Then in 1836 the Muraglione Pass was built and the Tre Faggi lost its importance, making it a very peaceful place.

The saddle can be reached via a short and easy single track from the Pietramora castle, and opens onto large meadows that can be easily traveled even off the track. At the top is the boundary stone of the papal state

At the top, a celebratory sculpture for bicycles and cyclists with a plaque that reads: "On this hill, consecrated to sports legend, Romagna, a generous land of champions, celebrates in this bronze, the humble steel horse, source of virtue athletics of serene joie de vivre, of fruitful inspiration, of its writers and poets".

Simply fantastic, for the past five years it has been one of the key passages of the Chase the Sun. Silent, calm, pedalable even if not exactly regular, but it is characteristic of all Apennine routes. Strada Zitta par excellence.

Famous Apennine pass, the Muraglione stands out from all the others due to a large wall, in fact, on its top. It was wanted, in the first half of the 19th century, by the engineer Alessandro Manetti to offer wayfarers shelter from the strong wind that still blows on the ridge.
