Not smooth at all, too many stretches on foot and at km 14 the gate is closed with a padlock.

The Parchetto delle Cascatelle dei Folletti located along the Fosso Cimarra, was recently designed and created by the Comunanza Agraria di Valcimarra with the aim of enhancing an area that had been neglected. The ancient valley, immersed in an evocative forest, has been transformed into an accessible place characterized by very well-kept streams and a very suggestive waterfall I must say. A legend called Sibilla Cimarra tells of hypothetical passages that would lead to the Sibillini mountains. A nice place where you can also spend a lunch or dinner, it is very cool and there are also several lights for lighting in the evening.

The first section of the climb is challenging on a gravel road, then you follow the tracks, all almost at altitude. Smooth until the end.

In the municipality of Caldarola, on the right bank of the Chienti river, in front of the settlement of Campolarizo, it is possible to admire the solemn church of the Madonna del Sasso, also known as Abbadia Saxi Latronis. This hermitage, located in a dense forest, can be reached from Valcimarra. The hermitage, elegantly set under a rocky overhang of Mount Fiungo, majestically overlooks the upper Chienti valley, offering a setting of rare beauty. Tradition has it that within this sacred building the access to the mysterious temple of the Sibyl Cimaria was hidden, perhaps inspired by the presence of some characteristics of the ancient oracles, such as the echo and the proximity to a communication route.
