몬테코피올로 최고의 러닝 경로

Perhaps, in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences by Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year, might be of interest (address of April 5, 2024): “Feel called (...) to carry into the Church and into the world a little of this immeasurable love that compelled Jesus to die for us on the cross. May the intimate closeness to Him, as it did for Francis [of Assisi], make you ever more humble, more united, more joyful, and more essential in your love for the cross and in your concern for the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this age of ours, which struggles so much to recognize the presence of the Lord.” (Pope Francis)

The Simone and Simoncello rocks, blocks of sandstone surrounded by a beautiful forest, slowly slid here from the Tyrrhenian Sea 130 million years ago on a sea of clay in the so-called gravitational flow of the Marecchia valley.

To rest a bit

In beautiful large beech 😀

This refuge lost in the mountains also allows you to prepare a barbecue, although you still have to bring everything you need there.

The panoramic view from this place is magnificent.

A lovely view of the summit of Monte Carpegna and its surroundings.

A beautifully created “sculpture” pays tribute to Marco Pantani on the land where he prepared.
