피에베 산토 스테파노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 산길

the climb through the woods begins, quite tough in some parts!!

starting point of the classic Balze loop ═════════════════ 182nd excursion and 16th time in the Balze area | loop starting from Valico Monte Fumaiolo passing through Rifugio Moia and Rifugio Giuseppe ════════════════ 👇 here is the video in 4K 👇 https://youtu.be/kt9FOoGmOZc

Passo dei Lupatti (altitude 1171) where majestic beech trees stand and where we cross the 00 ridge path coming from Passo dei Mandrioli and heading to Passo della Crocina: the stretch of the railway that went from Passo dei Lupatti to Cancellino was slightly downhill and for this reason the wagons loaded with wood were slowed down in their run by specially trained men called "brakemen". Now from Passo dei Lupatti to Lama the road will always continue downhill: immersed in the forest we walk crossing the slopes of Mount Cucco and Poggio Rovino until we reach Pian della Saporita (altitude 1051) Beautiful dirt road immersed in an immense beech forest with the possibility of many variations, 90% of the routes are suitable for everyone.

Compact gravel road @cesare pastorelli?

Mount Fumaiolo pass: starting point for trekking, routes, excursions and paths.

Very nice climb, 660m of altitude difference quite regular. However, I would like to point out that there is a sign prohibiting bicycles at the beginning and at the end going up from Bagno. I did it anyway but know that theoretically it is forbidden to bikes.

The Viamaggio Pass is a pass (983 m) in the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines located on the border between the municipalities of Pieve Santo Stefano and Badia Tedalda, in the province of Arezzo. The pass, which connects the Tiber Valley to the Marecchia Valley, is crossed by the Marecchiese State Road which connects Sansepolcro (Arezzo) with Rimini. Known and frequented since ancient times, in Roman times the Via Ariminensis passed through it, an ancient road connecting Arezzo and the colony of Rimini. This non-consular road, however, did not follow the current route of the Strada Marecchiese, but headed towards Pieve Santo Stefano and passed through the valley of the Sinigiola stream (the current Via Cerbaiolo, with the hermitage of the same name, which joins a few dozen of meters from the pass)

Great landscape and interesting rock formations
