モンテレンツィオの絶景の山頂・トップ17

During the summer weekends it is a land of roaring motorbikes but during the week the SS65 of Futa is a paradise of peace and beauty to be enjoyed by bicycle, it is automatic to stop at the Passo della Raticosa and enjoy the view, clean air and peace and the bar is a good excuse to delay as much as possible the departure from that mystical place...

at certain times it is also possible to find it open to visit the church

Monte delle Formiche is a relief in the middle Bolognese Apennines above Pianoro, between the Idice valleys and the Zena valley. It has an altitude of 638 m. The name of the mountain seems to be linked to a natural phenomenon that occurs annually around September 8th, the feast day of the Madonna to whom a sanctuary is dedicated at the top of the mountain. Swarms of winged ants of the Mirmyca Scabrinodis variety migrate to this peak from central Europe to make their nuptial flight and die there. The event, which has been witnessed since ancient times, has over time taken on an almost miraculous value, a sort of homage from nature to the Madonna. From the sanctuary there is a beautiful panoramic view of the valleys below. By bike it is a beautiful climb with significant gradients.

One of the most famous passes in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, it is very popular with those who walk or cycle. It is located on the Alta Via dei Parchi and has three asphalted sides: Frassineta and Monghidoro on the Bolognese side, Pietramala on the Tuscan side. At the top there is the Chalet Raticosa, where it is possible to stop and refresh.

The top of Mount Calvo is... bald, and this allows the view to sweep wide and caress with the eyes the ridges that descend towards the Val di Zena.

The Raticosa pass is one of the most celebrated and well-known passes in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. It is located at 968 meters above sea level. At the top the chalet offers a moment of relaxation after the effort faced. Before the construction of the motorway, this was the only route between Bologna and Florence.
