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.

A short free-ride trail, which connects the Commenda picnic area to the Gianna path below. It is short, but intense: a breathtaking climb, which takes us to the top of a hill, is followed by a descent on a narrow and quite technical track, which ends with two possible exits on the "Gianna", one of which is quite challenging and recommended only to those who use a full-suspension bike with good travel and a telescopic seat post. If you have a "front", I strongly advise against it (choose the easiest exit, which is the second one on the left), unless you are an Olympic handler :-)

It is the perfect place for a scenic break, to admire the surrounding landscape and to rest before continuing on the Via degli Dei. Monte Adone is one of the highlights of this famous hiking trail, offering hikers an unforgettable experience immersed in the wild nature of the Apennines.

From the Sasso Marconi railway station we immediately take the path connecting with the Via degli Dei. We cross the Pliocene Contrafforte Reserve, an area of great geological and naturalistic interest, rich in marine fossils, witnesses of an ancient gulf present in this area in the Pliocene era (between 5 and 2 million years ago). The route then includes reaching the summit of Monte Adone (654 m), the latter appreciable for the view of the surroundings and for its geological peculiarity (Pliocene sandstones). From here we descend in the direction of Brento, a hamlet in the municipality of Monzuno, from which we continue along the paved road towards Monterumici. The area still has the remains of fortifications from the Gothic line. Once at the bus stop, wait for line 827 (Vado Stazione- Monzuno) which allows us to reach Monzuno by cutting off the last km of paved road.
