A really wealthy leg for shrines and points of interest, where it is possible to start truly to appreciate the Apennine landscape, among ridges, valleys, oak, beech and centuries-old chestnut forests. From Loiano we head towards Astronomical Observatory , where it is worth wandering around the various buildings and signs. A descent leads to Gragnano and its beautiful Church of Santa Maria Assunta followed by Campeggio, passing the village of Sumbilla , the way back is climbing up the path of the Via Crucis towards Monte CalvarioThen it is up to the Shrine of Madonna dei Boschi, guarded with incredible passion by the friars, and shortly after to Monghidoro. From here the descent towards the Savena valley begins, passing through Piamaggio, home to the Shrine of Madonna di Pompei and to two small but very interesting museums, to move then to the lake of Castel dell’Alpi. A final short ascent leads to the arrival in Madonna dei Fornelli.
