Wooden Bridge on the Gaibola Trail

Highlight • Bridge

Small bridge that is found along a fun and easy path that connects via di Gaibola with via Montebello. If you descend from via di Gaibola coming from the south / Parco dei Gessi / calanchi you will find the entrance to the path in a semi-curve. It is indicated by the red / white symbol (at least at the moment) the coordinates should be (44.436121, 11.425985). The path then leads to via Montebello, so when you arrive on the gravel road, keep right and go down to the church of Pizzocalvo ..... at full throttle.

Gaibola Descent to Via Montebello

Highlight • Trail

This passage is mythical for those who know and have already walked the path that goes down to the Fantini house .... when you pass it you can not help but feel the attraction and the desire to take it and get off ..... when it is dry, however, so it happens that for the whole winter you pass us by and you have to give up.

View of the Idice and Zena Valleys

Highlight • Viewpoint

Classic stop with a green bench for those who want to rest ..... in fact, a lot of effort has been made from whatever direction you arrive .... the view is always satisfying with a view of the gullies and the Idice valley

Sette Traverse Junction on Via Gaibola

Highlight • Trail

Another interesting crossroads ... it depends where you come from. If you come from the Val di Zena going left you go towards via Gaibola, if you go right you go towards a simple single track that takes you first to a beautiful view and then to the top of via Gaibola.

Peak of Monte Calvo

Highlight • Summit

Almost 360 ° panoramic view, if you don't want to work too hard to go up, use the paved road, then get off the singletrack. Made with 90s mtb without suspensions or disc brakes, given the slope in the middle of the descent I stopped to cool everything down, not recommended if it rained a lot in the previous days, a lot of sun exposure (no trees), but as long as you go down it is all bearable

View of Bologna from the Gessi Bolognesi and Calanchi dell'Abbadessa

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Parco dei Gessi which is above the Ponticella was my first destination with the muscular MTB. Great memories, I stopped there practically given the short time to train. It allows you to make various routes in different landscapes ranging from the bush to the chalk rock with overhangs in which to be careful. Turn it far and wide (there are many tracks available) but be aware that some steps are very technical or require you to get off the bike (at least as far as I'm concerned)

This year no RAI live broadcast. Today the Post wasn't enough for me.... Candyman, €nrY, Andrea C. And Mr Cavicchi also put their own spin on it. But with the excuse of the photos.. I recovered a little 😁😆

Quite easy ride but it can be made more exciting by going down to Casa Fantini instead of via Eremo and on the way back, at the penultimate curve of the 7 traverses, to do the Macaco trail instead of the normal climb.

January 23, 2022,Gaibola - Val di Zena - Ponticella 🔵

Along the Idice torrent for a short section, on both sides, then up along via Gaibola on a forest trail that leads to a paved road. The path to the Calanchi was impassable, so that we decided to go back for a while and do the descent to the Val di Zena. We headed to La Pulce, then up on …
