A panoramic mountain between the Sieve Valley and Mugello. The trails are poorly maintained, especially those descending into the Mugello, often eroded by rainwater and reduced to drainage ditches. Now, as in many other areas of Tuscany, the Path of the Gods, now popular with young people, has been removed and kept clean, and brambles and undergrowth are everywhere, often obscuring the old trails and making them inaccessible. A real shame! Because the views offered by the ridges and peaks deserve much greater attention, both politically (by local authorities) and socially (by volunteers).

Monte Giovi, also known as "Monte di Giove", stands at an altitude of 992 meters and is located on the Apennine ridge between the Morello and Senario mountains. Its slopes are dotted with paths perfect for walking or mountain biking, also thanks to themed routes, including some that remember and celebrate the Resistance.

Mount Secchieta is certainly a place that lends itself well to various mountain bike rides, with gravel only being the main road on the ridge. Be careful because it is particularly exposed to the wind so even a sunny day can bring cold temperatures at the gates of autumn. The area offers several bivouacs, low altitude compared to the ridge, with possible overnight stops. The water sources, except those at the managed refuges, almost always release only a light trickle.

..are the names of the trails that start from here. I left the car at the Mandri restaurant where all the riders meet .. there is a large parking area and you can do magic on a budget😎. You climb the 250-300m of difference in altitude arriving at the start of the 3 very valid trails. All three have an altitude difference of + -500m and some of them connect to the trails called L’Oca and Mandri. Going down to the Vivaio di Rincine and they are all very well done, challenging, fun. The grip is very good despite the high humidity and the many roots .. tires, pressure and set-up make the difference. Protections and full-face helmet make you feel more comfortable✊🏻😎. There are other trails in the area and some under construction. This time I didn't do them but I promised to come back as soon as possible.

Very nice stretch, even in terms of landscape, to do in MTB or gravel
