メルドラの洞窟・トップ18

Varied, beautiful, scenically interesting ridge route that can be hiked even in challenging weather conditions.

Situated at 400 metres above sea level on a tuff ridge between the valleys of the Rabbi and Bidente Ronco rivers, it is a destination to be conquered by all bikers. It can be reached from Meldola, Predappio or Forlì with various routes through vineyards and cultivated fields with breathtaking views and with sections of slopes of up to 14%.

The climb and the town are quite popular with local cyclists, the climbs are not demanding and several road and gravel tours pass through them.

It's a shame it can no longer be visited!

Historic building not open to visitors, the open garden at the back is very suggestive

One of the most beautiful windows in Romagna

Monte Poggiolo is a hill near Forlì, with an altitude of 212 metres (692 ft) overlooking the valley of the Montone river. At the top of Monte Poggiolo stands a medieval fortress, known as the Rocca di Montepoggiolo, built in 1471 by the Florentine architect Giuliano da Maiano. The site is also important archaeologically for the discovery of thousands of Paleolithic artefacts, dating back to around 850,000 years ago, making them the oldest evidence of human habitation in Italy.

An absolute highlight with an impressive view of the Romagna plain. Great restaurants and bars to linger in.
