September 24, 2023,Anello Schia - Monte Caio

Be careful because part of the path is closed, we did it anyway but it is cordoned off due to the risk of falling rocks in the section of path 737, between the junction with 737A and the 732A junction
ordinance of the municipality of Palanzano n° 7/22 of 07/20/2022.

Route without particular roughness or difficulty, clay or stony ground, beautiful varied and typically Apennine landscape. I met some bikers but I don't recommend the bike on this route. Important thing these days: lots of shade and absolutely pleasant temperatures!
