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%.

Some hypotheses concern the attribution of the name: the first connects it to the configuration of the walkway that accompanies the battlements of the upper perimeter, while another refers to the existence of rooms equipped with fireplaces or hearths. Certainly suggestive is that which derives the name from the existence in the area of ovens equipped with fireplaces to produce building lime starting from the limestone rock called "spungone". However, since 1177 the name Rigone Caminate appears in some documents. ... (Source: https://www.roccadellecaminate.com/storia/ )
