On The Trail

Departure from the car park for the hermitage.

The first stretch is very steep and bumpy, a road built to reach the hermitage itself, the road is accompanied by votive columns, one every thirty metres, very suggestive.

Truly beautiful path that reaches an equally interesting hermitage that deserves a visit

Departure from one of the numerous paths in the charming town of Balze.

Let's start with a fact, this is one of the most beautiful, wooded, silent and relaxing trails I've ever done.

Not difficult as a route, steep but not so much at the beginning and not very rocky, the summit does not exist because to

Departure from the small town of Scavolino right on the north-west slopes of Carpegna, the first part of the climb is decidedly easy on a wide dirt road up to the first crossroads for the Trabocchetto pass, from here continue left on a still easy dirt road up to the second crossroads well hidden by the

Departure from the car park in front of the Onferno caves.

Relatively easy route except for the uphill section that starts from the "kennel" house, which I called this because it looks like an uninhabited country farmhouse but with 6 enormous Maremma dogs who welcome you by barking as much as they can

Fairly easy route.

Conero which I don't particularly appreciate because the uphill paths are all stony and bumpy which are even worse on the downhill, it's true that once you get up they become really beautiful and there are decidedly relaxing ones immersed in the woods, however once you've done this

Test route to try new paths and take advantage of the beautiful old ones.

Due to the arrival of a storm in the afternoon I had to plan a slightly shorter route even if in the end it unexpectedly took us 6 and a half hours, it's true that we took our time with the breaks and lunch, even too much.



Initial

Very easy tour, very useful for when you have little time and the weather is too inviting to stay indoors.

Pros:

Routes in the midst of nature with a sea view and truly beautiful paths, especially the end in this case today, perpetually in the woods and also suitable for the summer furnace climate, excluding

Perfect summer route, 90% or more always in the woods.

In truth I remembered a walk for health, but on the way back to the crossroads of the Queen's forest it turned out to be a violent uphill climb at times, decidedly removed from memories, however a bit of training is always welcome.

The Cesane, especially

Classic tour to the summit and the small miratory house on the Metauro valley, hunting ground for the Furlo eagles.

Climb from the Furlo pass and then deviate about halfway towards Pagine following the map, paths very well maintained even if some crossroads without maps remain mysterious.

Really tough

Carpegna always wonderful, from all sides.

Departure from the Pianacquadio picnic area on the road that a few kilometers later leads to the ski slopes.

Circular tour almost exclusively outdoors, only the final part of the beech forest is covered, very difficult and tanning under a summer sun.
