now there is also a nice cycle path around the lake

already done twice and always beautiful

Along the Via degli Dei (Way of the Gods), you'll find the remains of the Flaminia Militare, an ancient Roman road built in 187 BC to connect Bologna to Arezzo. Hidden for centuries, it was rediscovered in the 1970s by two passionate hikers. Today, well-preserved sections of the original pavement can still be seen, nestled in the Apennine woods. Walking along it means traversing a true piece of history, on a journey that combines nature, archaeology, and memory.

recommended for the wonder of the woods and the super marked path

Borders as they should be. Nothing more than a stone by the wayside.

Very suggestive

A short, beautiful hike through oak forests, offering beautiful views. Due to some steep climbs, a good level of fitness is recommended. 🌬️

Here you can follow in historical footsteps: Discover the remains of the Flaminia Militare, an ancient Roman road built in 187 BC by Consul Caio Flaminio. This road connected Bologna with Arezzo and likely followed a route already used by the Etruscans to cross the Apennines. The Via Flaminia Militare is an ancient Roman road connecting Bologna and Arezzo. As Tito Livio recorded in 187 BC, it was built at the instigation of Consul Caio Flaminio, likely using a path already used by the Etruscans for trans-Apennine trade. The paving of the Via Flaminia Militare not only served to expand the Roman road network. Rather, the goal was to create a wide and well-maintained road that would make it easier for armies to cross the Apennines without major difficulties. Over time, the Via Flaminia Militare was gradually abandoned and eventually fell into obscurity during Roman times, having lost its strategic importance. In 1977, archaeologists Franco Santi and Cesare Agostini began to deepen their studies into the existence of this road and began searching for it. After two years of intensive research, in August 1979, they discovered a paving stone hidden beneath the foliage near Monte Bastione, not far from the Futa Pass. It was a slab of rock commonly used for road construction in Roman times. It is important to note that in addition to this ancient Roman road, there is another road with the same name: the Via Flaminia Militare, built as a strategic road for military purposes during World War II. Its name derives from the ancient Via Flaminia, built by the Romans as early as 220 BC to connect Rome to the city of Rimini.
