Excursions

Number 101 goes to the peak of Mt. Carpegna (1.415 meters) covered by an extended pine grove on the southern side that extends from the town of Carpegna to the peak of the mountain. The trail is almost always shaded.

Along this path you will pass by Cippo (m 1021) where one should rest and refill their water supply , and continue on a steep but short path which finally meets Monte Carpegna. The mountain top is one of the highest in Montefeltro. A small church juts out in this vast plain with an annexed monastery dedicated to the Madonna del Faggio dating back to 1205. In recent years the whole area has been developed especially by sheep farmers. It has become half a pilgrimage site and half for summer and winter tourism. This area offers two slope structures with artificial snow and illuminated trails. The view from the slope of the mountain is truly unique. San Leo, San Marino and the Romagnolo Riviera are now in sight.

Number 108 for Pietrafagnana and Pietrarubbia, covering about 1.5 km (also by car) of a partly shaded and little traffic peripheral road, you reach a small hamlet of Carpegna called Paterno from where the path to Pietrarubbia starts. The path is partly shaded.

Passing through Paterno it is advisable to make a short visit to the Chiesetta del Crocifisso, then taking the small road that runs along the slopes of Mount Carpegna you will reach Montale 803 m. Taking a short stop and turning your gaze to the south-east, you can see a glimpse of Montefeltro.
Shortly thereafter we reach Pietrafagnana, a rocky outcrop that at first sight may seem like a fortification built by man but in reality it is a bizarre chiseled by nature.
Continuing eastwards you reach the ancient Pietra Rubea ancient village now well restored, home to the T.a.m. center. (artistic metal treatment).
Wandering among the solitary houses it is possible to observe some castings and sculptures by Arnaldo Pomodoro.
