This route winds not far from Senigallia and the sea, yet in some places the fact of being immersed in a lush nature, in the midst of centuries-old oaks, with panoramic views of the mountains and the surrounding countryside makes us forget where we are. The view of Corinaldo from Via delle Ville and the visit of this medieval village and the archaeological site of Santa Maria del Portuno, make this experience even richer.
Helmet, preferably technical clothing. Water 1 liter, kway or rain cape, snacks, dried fruit.
Please refer to the websites and to the classic tourist guides for information on the sites of historical, cultural and naturalistic interest that are found along the route.
Pass Sant’Angelo and after a short climb turn right and take the Strada della Querciabella. A long descent with some small rips uphill takes us to Bettolelle and then the cross over the river Misa to Brugnetto. Passing on small, partly unpaved roads, you arrive at Passo Ripe. An easy climb to Ripe and then Castel Colonna.
At the hamlet of Croce turn left onto the ridge road towards Corinaldo. At the junction take Via delle Ville. From here, especially with the morning light, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Corinaldo, with in the background the profile of the mountains. From the roundabout on the provincial road Corinaldese go up to Corinaldo.
From Corinaldo downhill to Madonna del Piano, with a stop and visit of the archaeological site adjacent to the Church of Santa Maria di Portuno.
