A street that allows you to undertake various bike routes: • Climb to Vespignano (taking via Castelnuovo after a few bends) • Climb to Monte Mauro (via Monte Mauro before reaching Zattaglia) • Bitella climb (when you reach Zattaglia, turn left) • Take Val Sintria (when you reach Zattaglia, turn left then immediately right onto via Molino Boldrino), from here there are various alternatives, including the climb up via Cavina and the climb up the dirt road to Croce Daniele. Both of these last two solutions intersect the CAI 505 path, which can be traveled on gravel and MTB. • Montalbano climb

The bivouac is a beautiful place to stop to regain strength before finishing the route, completely immersed in nature. But know that dormice are the masters, that is their home! So unless you are happy to know them and share every single space with them (even what you thought was yours), I recommend spending only daylight hours there.
