Detailed itinerary

We will start from the shores of this crystal-clear lake and go up the Musone River to the Cascatelle di Cingoli, an oasis of peace for those seeking shelter and coolness in the hottest periods.

More than one hundred models of side-cars are collected in this museum, collected by Costantino Frontalini over the course of thirty years. The sidecars on display range from the twentieth century to the present day, with a section dedicated to the vehicles made famous by the cinema.

This town is also known as "Balcony of the Marches", because from every point you can enjoy a panoramic view that goes as far as the sea. Here there is also a motocross track of European significance.

We will descend from Cingoli along the Bosco delle Tassinete, where there is a monumental yew with an estimated age of one thousand years. Here we will stop for a packed lunch.
