Climb to Cippo di Carpegna

Highlight • Climb

At this point the climb that leads to Cippo di Carpegna begins. The climb is divided into two parts, the first three kilometers of which have an average gradient of 15%, after which you arrive at a false plateau where it is possible to refuel with fresh water from the source and then tackle the last four kilometers with medium gradients by 18%. It is very nice to savor every bend along this route and at least once read the various writings found on the billboards that are displayed. It's worth it at least the first time not to push to the max to push the performance, but to enjoy every breath you take, and reflect on the sentences you find written on the asphalt... one above all strikes the mind and the imagination "You feel only your breath!".
Think people think!

Croce dei Salti

Highlight • Viewpoint

Croce dei Salti, at which you come out on a beautiful panoramic ridge from which you can enjoy a complete view of the valley below, in which the Pietrarubbia castle and the nearby Torrione formation stand out. Behind the valley the gaze extends to the distant reliefs of Nerone and Catria, while looking further to the left you can clearly recognize the three peaks of Monte Titano with the city of San Marino and the green silhouette of Montecopiolo underneath.
