Walking
in the Apennines
In
the natural and multi-colored embrace that the Apennine chain forms in the
province of Pesaro and Urbino, by drawing a natural semicircle, from the
San Marino province and towards Mounts Nerone and Catria to
reach the austere monastery of Fonte Avellana, a universe of
unexpected views is waiting to be discovered and loved.
It is rich in breathtaking landscapes and astounding treasures, concealed
between rocks and streams, plateaus and caves.
With
names that seem taken from a beautiful book of fairy tales, the pathways
lead across woods and heaths, rocky areas and rocky hardpans, caves and
waterfalls, gorges and streams, prairies, stony grounds, calanques and
pinewoods, meadows and mountains, always giving unique emotions and
unsullied landscapes.

Choosing
among the most suitable excursions according to their difficulty and
interest, it is possible to walk from the austere peaks of the Mount Catria
to the rocky formations of Mount Nerone, from the picturesque
canyon of the Furlo Gorge to the steep faces of the Sasso Simone
and Simoncello, crossing plains that are swept by strong winds and
watching the clear waters of brooks hidden in the woods.
To
live more intensely unforgettable experiences in a direct contact with
nature, it is also possible to spend the night in one of the many
excursion-huts available thanks to mountain communities.
These include Calvillano (near Montecopiolo), Piobbico, Apecchio, Pieja (near
Cagli) and the many structures existing in the Mount Catria territory.
Walking
in the Apennines therefore
is updated every year, proposing new itineraries and enriching its tracks
with charming walks and stops in charming places, when possible taking
advantage of the many festivals organized in small villages which may be
found in the cool of the woods in a territory full of an intense poetic
spirit.
