This trail is for walking, it's suicide to ride it with a gravel bike, too steep, too many potholes (chasms) and big rocks, if you're on a bike it's better to avoid it

Bianello Castle, located on the Bianello hill in Quattro Castella, Reggio Emilia, is an ancient historical residence linked to Matilda of Canossa. Built in the year 10, it has hosted illustrious figures such as Henry IV and various popes. The only one of the four castles in the area to have reached us intact, the castle can be visited with a guide, and the interior, although furnished with antique non-medieval furniture, preserves frescoes, noble coats of arms and coffered ceilings.

Only the ruins of the Canossa castle stand today (unlike that of Rossena). The castle was probably founded in the mid-10th century, but it is difficult to say which structures exactly made up the ancient complex.
