ヴィッキオの峠・トップ14

The pass is located in the municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo, in the province of Florence, at 913 m above sea level, along the former state road 302 Brisighellese Ravennate. It takes its name from the hamlet of Casaglia, which is the first town you come across when descending from the Romagna side. The former Alpe di Casaglia state road 477 branches off from the pass in a northerly direction and, after passing the nearby Sambuca Pass, descends the Senio valley.

Still closed (June 2024) and, I think forever, the old Bar-Restaurant. However, a bar is now open next door, on the side of the pass that leads towards Palazzuolo.

A classic for runners, cyclists and motorcyclists alike. The Bar Nido d'Allocco is the best for a stop based on flatbread, sandwiches, juices, beer, wine and so on and so forth....

The Giogo pass is located at 882 meters above sea level. During the Second World War it was part of the German defensive line called the Gothic Line. In 1944, at the Giogo pass, the Allies broke into the German trenches after a series of attacks that lasted five days.

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.

Pass of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines that separates the Mugello and Santerno valleys. It is located at 882 meters above sea level. between the towns of Firenzuola and Scarperia. It was a garrison of the Nazi Gothic Line to defend northern Italy from the advance of Allied troops.

Little-used pass on the west-east crossing through the Appeninn. There was a young guy in my scooter the whole time, who must have gone up and down 5 times.
