Wooden Bridge over the Idice

Highlight • Bridge

Between the hamlets of Mercatale and La Noce, in the municipality of Ozzano nell'Emilia, it is possible to cross the Idice torrent thanks to a beautiful wooden bridge, suitable for any type of non-motorized vehicle. The Idice is one of the most important tributaries of the Reno.

Calanchi of Mercatale and Botteghino di Zocca

Highlight • Natural Monument

Not far from the Idice River, this dirt road offers splendid views of the Mercatale and Botteghino di Zocca ravines. This is a typical landscape of the Bologna Pre-Apennines.

Wooden Bridge on the Gaibola Trail

Highlight • Bridge

Small bridge that is found along a fun and easy path that connects via di Gaibola with via Montebello. If you descend from via di Gaibola coming from the south / Parco dei Gessi / calanchi you will find the entrance to the path in a semi-curve. It is indicated by the red / white symbol (at least at the moment) the coordinates should be (44.436121, 11.425985). The path then leads to via Montebello, so when you arrive on the gravel road, keep right and go down to the church of Pizzocalvo ..... at full throttle.

Gaibola Bike Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Calling a cycle path that starts with ramps at 20% on dirt and then becomes a single track is not exactly wise, yet the signs suggest this, certainly feasible in MBT, it is not suitable for gravel or racing bikes, some sections between the rocks you have to get off and push.

View of the Idice and Zena Valleys

Highlight • Viewpoint

Classic stop with a green bench for those who want to rest ..... in fact, a lot of effort has been made from whatever direction you arrive .... the view is always satisfying with a view of the gullies and the Idice valley

Sette Traverse Junction on Via Gaibola

Highlight • Trail

Another interesting crossroads ... it depends where you come from. If you come from the Val di Zena going left you go towards via Gaibola, if you go right you go towards a simple single track that takes you first to a beautiful view and then to the top of via Gaibola.
