폰테 델올리오 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This side of the hill is characterized by a rapid change in terrain type at every step, you go from the tree-lined path, to the classic path and suddenly you turn the curve and you find yourself overlooking the gullies. They almost look like sand dunes but in the end they are clay rocks eroded by water. The peculiarity is that some are completely almost devoid of vegetation and immediately after you find them covered.

Trail very ruined by Jeeps and Motorcycles......they made the trail a unique mud... Going around it is the only solution!

Gullies are a geomorphological phenomenon of soil erosion which occurs due to the runoff effect of rainwater on degraded clayey rocks, with little vegetation cover and therefore poorly protected from runoff: producing deep furrows in the soil along the side of a mountain or of a hill.

Spettine Castle is located in the territory of the Municipality of Bettola, and is situated on the top of a hillock guarding an ancient link road between the Nure and Trebbia valleys. Originally, the site was fortified by the local Da Spettine family; later, in 1396, the Viscontis bought the castle, which held a primary importance for the control of the territory south of Piacenza.

Leave the paved road following the old sign in the direction of Monte Sant'Anna,

From here it is possible to see the tower of the castle of Spettine standing out among the vegetation.

From here you can admire a splendid panorama of the surrounding valleys. It is also possible to see the gullies: a geomorphological phenomenon whereby the rock is eroded by the waters forming large furrows on the sides of mountains or hills.
