Beautiful road that follows the Secchia river from the bottom of the valley and passes through the Poiano springs where you can stop at the bar / restaurant. From this road you have two possibilities to go up one towards Sologno and then reach a couple of Apennine passes between Emilia and Tuscany and another to go up towards the Pietra di Bismantova.

Ligonchio

Highlight • Settlement

Ligonchio is a small village of around 800 inhabitants, belonging to the Municipality of Ventasso. The town is located 949 meters above sea level, between the Ozola and Secchia valleys, at the foot of Mount Cusna, the highest peak of the Reggio Emilia Apennines.
From the center of Ligonchio Sopra there is an easy path that leads to the summit of Monte della Croce, which overlooks the town. Here there is a Giant Bench from the international Big Bench Community project circuit.
Thanks to its proximity to Mount Cusna, Ligonchio is a strategic starting point for exploring the area's trails by mountain bike.

View of Monte Cusna from Monteorsaro

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Monteorsaro you can enjoy an excellent view of Mount Cusna, the highest mountain in the Reggio Emilia Apennines above 2000m.
Mount Cusna is also called the Sleeping Giant because its shape resembles the profile of a reclining giant.
This is a great vantage point.
