Furthermore, in the area there are places of historical interest such as the Prince's Castle, the small church of San Michele Arcangelo and the Church of San Mario.

Winding Road With View of the Orsomarso Mountains

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is a nice sloping stretch, full of tight and fun hairpin bends. From here the view of the Orsomarso mountains is beautiful. Pay attention to the vegetation along the roadside that invades the road in hot weather.

A breathtaking view

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is a very panoramic stretch from which to observe the road you have just traveled on and the one you will face.
