historic Italian municipality with around 4,200 inhabitants in the province of Ancona in the Marche region. Due to its exceptional location at 535 meters above sea level on Monte Chisciano and the panoramic view of the Apennines, the medieval small town is often called the “Pearl of the Mountains”

The official trail begins behind the parking lot at the former "Monte Murano" restaurant. The start is marked by a plaque on a stone. The trail then continues through a small forest with numerous curves to the next hiking trail. ⚠️ Only for experienced downhill riders! Many small jumps, unfortunately also sections washed out by rain and slippery scree. Recommendation: knee and elbow pads. For the last section, depending on the season, wear long clothing due to the brambles. But: a nice adrenaline rush.

Monte della Guardia certainly didn't steal its name! The summit of this mountain offers a wonderful view of the Marche Apennines... In the distance you can admire the most important peaks, from Monte Catria with Monte Acuto at its side, the neighbor with the pointed hat Monte Strega. Monte Cucco beautiful round. The Sibillini majestic in any season and Monte San Vicino that looks like a volcano. But above all from this point you could control the entire territory around Arcevia. Very accessible via the squirrel path n⁰12 or path nº4. Suitable for everyone, even with children.

It has a thousand years of history, there are Templar symbols and a beautiful fresco inside. Unfortunately it is usually closed, only on special occasions is it open, check online. It is located along a medieval road of great communication with Genga and the hinterland.
