Beautiful secondary road between Botteghino di Zocca and Pianoro, panoramic and without traffic. From here you can enjoy excellent views of the first Apennines and the Gessi and Calanchi dell'Abbadessa Regional Park.

Varied route, the climb from Sasso Marconi up to Monte Capra is quite rustically asphalted and has some nasty gradients, but hardly any traffic and fantastic views.
It was very fortunate that the powerful thunderstorm stayed away from the hills, so the road was only wet for the last 4 kilometers.
