Descrizione

We leave from the centre of Montefiore dell'Aso, after a nice breakfast and a much-needed visit to the beautiful old town, with views of the sea and the Apennines. We leave in the direction of the cemetery, continuing to the entrance. Once in front of the gate, we take a secondary road to the left, shaded and gently descending, which, amidst relaxing views of the countryside, will take us to the shores of Lake Montecantino, a small artificial reservoir hidden in a small valley. We arrive at the dam, which cannot be crossed, but not far to the left, a short descent takes us to a bridge, which we cross. Here begins a steep climb that will take us to via di Fonte Trufo, where we turn right to return to our starting point.
