From the Certo Piano crossroads, you can take this dirt road that crosses the thick woods of the Monti Navegna and Cervia Regional Nature Reserve. This is one of the most beautiful stretches in autumn to witness the explosion of colors from the trees in the reserve.

This short stretch of road that crosses the Obito gorges is closed to vehicular traffic due to landslides, so it is really pleasant to cycle around. Entering from Ascrea you have to carry the bicycle by hand for about fifty meters to pass the rocks of an old landslide. You then pedal on a comfortable dirt road completely immersed in the silence of the woods of the Navegna Cervia Nature Reserve, accompanied by the sound of the waters of the Obito river.
