PROGRAMME:
Transfer to the beginning of the trail in the beech wood of Pianacquadio. The excursion starts almost immediately in the magnificent beech wood which is really monumental in some parts. This is a residual forest of limited extension once containing other tree formations which covered the entire ridge of Carpegna and which also included specimens of the European fir as well as the beech. The excursionists reach the place in which two military jet fighters crashed in 1984. The only sign of the accident left today is a small clearing between the trees which is in the process of being covered by vegetation.
The excursionists then leave the beech forest and find themselves on the bright meadows which gently rise to the top of the rocky slope which sharply shuts off almost the entire mountain on the north side. Once they reach the edge of the slope the excursionists can enjoy the vast view which spans the Valmarecchia, Romagna and the eastern side of the Casentinesi forests. From this point they continue and arrive at the small but charming refuge of the “fontanelle”, with its stone roof, where they have their packed lunch. From here they go up again until they reach the meadows of Monte Carpegna. The excursion continues in the open expanse and goes across the vast grassy high plain in a crosswise direction. The view stretches from M.Falterona, to Catenaio, Verna (AR - FO), to Catria and Nerone (PU), as well as San Vicino (MC). They reach the opposite part of the flat ground where there is a slope on the other side and go down along its edge up to the Passo del Trabocchino, which hangs over the village of Carpegna. From here they walk to the Eremo di Madonna del Faggio where the excursion comes to an end. The guides then accompany the group back to their cars.
