Wonderful road in the mountains with an enchanting panorama. Completely asphalted, it climbs gently up to Guadagnolo, the highest inhabited center in Lazio (1218 masl), which stands on a rock spur.

From 399 meters above sea level in the town of Cave, the Rocca is 933 meters in just under 9 kilometers. The very panoramic road climbs up the group of Prenestini mountains from the slope facing the Roman plain and on clear days there seems to be no boundary to our sight!
