Descrizione
We start out from the village of Montefortino, a charming hamlet rich in history, with its splendid views of the nearby mountains. We start by following the sub-Apennine provincial road for about 3 km; here we turn left onto a dirt road.
A little further on, a diversion to the right leads us to the church of Sant'Angelo in Montespino, an isolated religious building on a hill, where the silence and peace of the setting offer us a moment of pure relaxation.
We return to the previous dirt road and descend for a few kilometres, surrounded by greenery, before starting an ascent that takes us along a long route between minor roads and paths. The environment here is wild and fascinating, a true immersion in nature.
We finally reach Montemonaco, a characteristic and welcoming village, where we can stop for refreshments and admire the many points of historical and scenic interest. From here we continue our route, keeping at high altitude for a few kilometres, skirting the mountains and enjoying spectacular views, before beginning the descent that will take us back to Montefortino, thus closing our tour.
The itinerary includes some climbs that require some physical preparation. However, with an e-bike, these climbs become more accessible, allowing us to enjoy the landscapes without too much effort.
