From Venice (Val Noveglia) City of Umbria through the ridges of Barigazzo

Guild and the view of the longitudinal ridges

A long and wonderful Sunday walk with my wife Silvia and of course the dogs.
Departing from Venice, a small hamlet of stone houses that can be reached by car Noveglia by a quarter of an hour following the directions. This brings us to one of the most remote parts of the inland valleys. Shortly before Pareto and Pianelleto.

The map is the last reliable Ceno Valley - from the PEN MONTE MONTE Barigazzo (you can download high-resolution from this page or pick up the free tourist office Bardi), which in this case differs considerably from that of 2001 indicates that paths that no longer exist.

From Venice hour starts at 977 meters above sea level, a stretch of 803 CAI (25 km total from Castellaccio The Majesty of the blade). We pass through the houses and climb right into a point where the internal streets of the village is narrow and does not seem to be the path, but the white and red on the trail of the last house removes all doubt.

The view from the ridge crest Difficult Easy

The first part is quite challenging because you go up in 800 meters at 1,125 meters above sea level, through a largely corresponding to a dry river, probably active in other months because rather dug. At the end of the climb, continue to the right and start with a narrow path and the trail faded more than the first part that runs along the cliff on your left which lasted almost a mile with slight ups and downs. Moving from time to time by overlooking the cliff path and each time the view is breathtaking. Undergrowth of beech and clean Querciole alternating with small clearing of vegetation, especially bracken. In the middle of this stretch there would be an old orange sign would come down and cut more than a kilometer, but would not make sense not to get to the summit, unless you plan to spend only the return coming from behind, from the Church of Barigazzo.
the end and then the forest opens into a sudden descent can open his eyes on the two famous peaks of Barigazzo , you see all through a slit. It is the same spectacular point of view of a large quantity of photographs, including the cover of the aforementioned new hiking map of the Province.
down slightly towards the saddle, at a Boschina turn left onto 809th CAI path that crosses a steep descent after only a few hundred meters dell'809a the section marked with the orange of the Province and the new trail that descends from Church of Barigazzo exactly in half between the hard and the Cresta Cresta Easy, we had just seen and before which we went. Then turn left again following tables metal CAI Bicester who met here for the first time (for those coming from Val Noveglia) and identifying "Lago di San Giorgio - City of Ruins of Umbria. "
From an altitude of 1,000 meters, you start a beautiful location, in fact backward than done but just 100 meters below.
A broad valley in a forest of trees with high drum, clean, with large square stones everywhere.

The rusted signs for the ruins

Read descents and ascents to make a loop that leads to beautiful (but we did not find probably because we lost the signal that would take us a while to abandon the path to our left, but the tables here are all rusted and almost illegible often hidden by vegetation). After the hypothetical lake continues and after covering a mile and a half since the beginning of the "boil" orange you get near the turnoff for the ruins that we were looking for. Here, too, to take a great care because the trail are identified with difficulty, with indications rusty pole fell and was leaning against a tree.
It takes a small semi-circle with a slight slope to be in the middle of the ruins of Cities of Umbria, the subject of studies since the nineteenth century and of which there are only traces of the walls, while maintaining the mystery of its origins that Most historical records indicate a large castle in the second century Ligure BC The research began in 1861 with the archaeologist Alexander Wolf, who identified the site with a series of excavations that brought to light all the walls of the old building. Among the hypotheses of other scholars that appears to have been founded Cities of Umbria instead in the fifth century BC C. by the Umbrian who left his name and, given their presence in the area of \u200b\u200bplace-names also of Etruscan origin, such as Tosca and Vei, it is assumed that the Umbrian, Ligurian and Etruscan allies would have to resist the penetration of the Gauls, down from the north Po Valley. The name, which appears in some papers of the State of Principles Landi, another simplest hypothesis is that "Umbria" in the dialect Local means "shadow", which it remains for most of the year on that part of the mountain.

Silvia at the center of the city of Umbria

Having worked around the ruins going back to resume the main trail, which skirts a pond that is located under the city (that was well supplied with water). In less than 500 meters you arrive to the area equipped with benches, and finally the primary source of drinking water, corresponding to the paved road that leads from Tosca Varsi last parking lot before the peak of Barigazzo. At this point the paths are already 5 km from the start and was back down to 937 meters, a height similar to our starting point.
go up two bends of the road are the red and white trail of the short stretch of 809th, which had dropped in half. We go up to only 500 meters to a height of 1.029, with a tear of about one hundred meters up and coming at the intersection have seen this time you use the orange section that passes through the ridges in the opposite direction. 700 m path to move to 1,083 meters above sea level at the beginning of the so-called Cresta Easy, leaving on our right with the trail marked with red and white as many a journey back 700 meters all on a narrow trail in the coast, the "blade" of the mountain with rocky cliffs is on your right that to your left as you can well imagine the famous photographs.

The front view of the ridge with the Hard Rock of
Varsi background

As this is the "easy" some passages are really challenging and you must be very careful. Silvia for example, has taken a historic tumble , fortunately falling forward and curling in on itself. We laughed as they ride to school when one falls with the chair back and you think you may crack head. I dare not imagine what would have happened if he had slipped on one side. The cause at this point were too tired legs after more than 6 kilometers binding, which are already at the end of the ridge 7. Not to do so in case of rain lightly, because the stones were slippery and stretches of clay soil would be even more insidious.
Near the end of the ridge you climb on a stone platform surreal, perfectly flat and square. A natural balcony to observe the "Cresta Hard" which is located in front of and beyond what you see framed the Rock of Varsi a postcard perfect natural.
You get to the end "in tight ass" the first crossing at the saddle where you turn to go down to the ruins.
At this point you just have to go over all the initial part dell'803 that will take us back to Venice in a couple of miles, always with the CAI to the end, after traveling more than 9 miles and had two parts of alternating up and two down for a total of 780 meters altitude in just 200 feet of elevation (932 meters, the lowest point in 1132 and the exact highest point).

What Prob Does The Almani S7 Have

Gazzo - Groppo Gora

The meadows on the rump of Gora

One of the most spectacular peaks of the Group of Lama, despite the activity of quarry affecting their appearance in a violent way. Extraction of green ophiolites among other things, that should be avoided. I recommend that everyone go into that site "CaveAll'AmiantoNoGrazie!" . Part of
Groppo, the so-called Pitocco , collapsed recently and some have the courage to say that it was an earthquake ... No comment.

An alternative path than I had thought, because on the path that starts from the church of Gazzo are in progress of the work of underground pipes. A little later, as the junction with the road to the Passo del Pellizzone, there is a path from the left and there is a small parking space. Not bad, indeed a discovery. You can also walk a path between fields with a glance extraordinary, with the lump in the background, enclosed by small rocky hills to the right of Cogno. 850 meters with 100 meters of uphill path that does not "accuse" particularly.
This brings us to ' cross between the local road gravel to the base of the rump of Gora and eight hundred and first path that leads to the Bardi path 801 between the pitch and the top of Pellizzone Groppo.

The path that descends from the croup, which leads to continuing
Lama

At this point I went for 500 yards on the city until the beginning of a path not marked that part in a pine forest and which can be found outlined on the maps of 2001. Wonderful atmosphere thanks to the pine trees, since the base of the trunks cleaner than the typical vegetation of the Apennines, allow light to filter through cuts that show the streams and undergrowth in the form of greater distances.
exactly one kilometer of the route with a climb of 140 meters allow you to join at an altitude of 1,131 meters to 801 path that comes from Pellizzone Pass, near two gates in the fence of the high pastures specifically designed to allow the passage of people. Turning left you walk a few meters and you find yourself in front of the junction with the ' 907 beginning of the path leading to the top of Groppo.

The Marian shrine at the top of Gora

From the base to the top is nearly free from trees and ripping is very difficult in some points it is necessary to invent around the bends the path marked in red and white to soften the climb. The wide grassy slope of the hill is broken off the cliff on the left vertical and very clear. Without realizing, however well it runs a mile before to reach the highest part of 1297, where there is a small statue of Mary. Complying with the curve of the mountain, while remaining close to the cliff, you go back down the other side until you reach a saddle that allows a view of the cliffs. At this point s the crosses again 801. Continuing it would be that Castellaccio Hill and then to the blade while turning right to return to the passage in the fence, closing a perfect oval around Groppo. In this step, in the summer, it is very common to find the docile (and curious) bardigiani horses grazing.

The "forest" of signs at the junction of eight hundred and first

Instead of returning to the initial location in the pine forest I continued on the path towards the Pellizzone Journal. Walk along a trail on a ridge surrounded by beech trees, with slight ups and downs all around 1100 above sea level, about one kilometer. Until arriving at an intersection between segnalatissimo where an explosion of information is necessary to follow the old metal signs that indicate the city down right "Bard-Gazza" (it's the eight hundred and first).
A journey of a mile with red and blue almost erased, with the route that various parties have become uneven and muddy due to the overlap out of a river from its natural banks. Nothing is impossible, but on the descent of more than 150 meters should be careful for the sake of their ankles and knees.
You return the intersection with the municipal gravel, close to where I came from the alternative route through the fields. But at this point I could get off the path leading to the church of eight hundred and first Gazzo and the famous spring water, because it felt more bulldozers at work in the background. Arriving at the church I had to go up the paved road for 250 yards and retrieve the car, as always after sunset as it's usually childbirth exit from work.

Stabio From the waterfalls of Lavachielli


One of the most beautiful of the Val Ceno ever. For various reasons. And everyone's reach.

I have mixed indications of the route 27 and 37 listed on the site VALCENOTREK.IT and I brought the whole family to the beautiful waterfalls.

It starts from Stabio, which is reached by Noveglia after rising to the Monastery and on to Bré where you will turn right to reach the village well indicated by road signs. Council to park at the church not to disturb the inhabitants of the village as all the other spaces are very tight.

Here are the links generated automatically from the diary of TrailRunner:

- the map on OpenMap .

Walk down to the village will immediately white and red signals CAI 803rd reduction of the path just before a stream between the old stone houses, one with a wall round (be careful the cock! as also stated in the sign).

Cerreto

Start a paved path and perfect old stone walls, which will take you for miles along a pasture open to the base of toasted La Lubba.
After 650 meters you find a stone house in good condition that Gera, preceding by about a hundred yards passing across the Rio Grande Fountain where you forward in a grove with several branches. Once you passed should turn immediately left and after about fifty meters turn slightly making a small "S" first right and then left, following signs red and white almost invisible and very thin.
The path to change the departure from the paved trail and begins a tough climb winding with a vertical drop of 100 meters, still accompanied by some walls and some remains of small stone buildings. It comes out in half an hour to climb to a meadow suddenly above the town of Cerreto, a village of stone houses truly picturesque town think of 1 or 2 people all year round.

channel stone

Passing through the village and following the red and white signs clearly visible above takes you to the village and continue always on a path paved or well flat and clean, with the support walls in much of the stone path. It meets even
a channel that covered the tunnel and the entrance are entirely vaulted stone .
After just 200 meters path must leave the main path to a branch on the tree indicated by a signpost at the center spot. Turn right to the well marked path that passes by "dilapidated houses Bosche" , a small dilapidated town then after about 300 meters of another stone house being restored.

Continuing will meet a number of large logs cut and left on the path from which start, bypassing the unmarked path that enters into a wood, with many chestnut trees, which descends to the Rio Fountain which was glimpsed for the entire journey.
The vegetation is fairly thick but making sure you can recognize the location.
The important thing is to stay close to the river because after another 300 meters you will encounter the first incredible waterfalls.

Parking is a must, but the surprise will take you to do it automatically. Circling to the left the first waterfall you will be able to climb to the second, steps so smooth and perfect as to seem artificial . You can

even try using them as steps to climb to get to the other.

the way back we can try to change the road resumed, shortly after the last house found the first leg, the main path that passes a few tens of meters above, parallel to the previous year.

In this way will find themselves part paved and comfortable even if a mid-term compared to the village of Cerreto meets a landslide decided that interrupts him with large rocks and trees that are bypassed upstream with minor catastrophe.

The landslide on the main path

Once in Cerreto advice to change to the trend still remains on the main gravel road, to avoid to walk down the trail came. The route is longer but more pleasant, passing through the edges of other abandoned villages with evocative names: of Brac Brac to Racca Racca here and beyond , where one can see even a little higher up the development of Agneto . In any case exactly 2 km walk along the entire stretch-Cerreto Stabio returning to the starting point.
So I avoided, for ease of travel and also make it suitable for children, the first waterfall of the Rio Rosta suggested by Tanzi Giorgio with its route 27, about twenty minutes from Stabio its just below the tower of the so-called Lifelines, a small fort located above the Lubbe. I will come back and take a look.

Reminder: the trail should definitely retouched.

Caberra - Rondinara return (Val Dorbor)

The ladder begins
the real path

An exhausting itinerary after un'infilata of excessive physical hardships for almost forty years: the game of football tournament on Friday, a brief excursion to Noveglia Baita - Gravago Woods on Saturday afternoon and immediately after the traditional annual football game Rugarlo - Casanova, where, playing in this year Rugarlo empathy for adoption, we won 7-4. Good game.



The proposed route is nearly flat are talking about slopes to 220 meters in 5.36 km of route , round trip, including climbs and descents. To understand just say that the starting point is 657 meters and that of coming to 621, with slight ups and downs that nobody challenging.

The trail is 807 . It is clean in all his points and trail with white-red and blue although it should be risegnati are almost all now completely erased. There are also a couple of mistakes on the crossroads of signatures, but I intend to fix it if I can risegnarli as I asked permission to do.

Rondinara: the church in the woods

is a route of a historical . Why should you retrace your path liaison between the Monastery and the cave of Caberra Rondinara (and its chapel devotional). Places of the devotion of the "venerable Margaret Antoniazzi" called the "devotees of the Coast". All focus around the plague of 1524. Council to deepen the story on the website dedicated seen by clicking here. By car from the provincial
Bedonia Bardi-SP359, past the village of Vischeto beyond, turn right and follow signs Cervara Stone, Costageminiana, etc. ... Once in Caberra after less than 3 km. park. I suggest a visit to the church, chapel and monastery before leaving. Passing through the small religious complex and the town of Caberra you start down the path paved with gravel and set off as a way to Ceno Molino. After 800 meters on the right side, clearly indicated by the metal sign, the real path with a small staircase and even a handmade wooden handrail.

The observation tower equipped
behind the church of Rondinara

It starts a pleasant and fragrant journey through oaks, juniper trees and a large amount of ferns. Wrought and visible winds between different rocky crags of ophiolite green to get on and off a determined only near a small stream that falls just one of these emergencies, Poggio Castela above. Easy to navigate through the signals, care must be taken only at a crossroads about 200 yards from the end, then after about 2.2 km of route, where you must turn left leaving the main route apparently at a marker placed on a trunk that divides the two paths with no clear direction, since it is not immediately locate a second signal. In accordance with Murphy's Law my chance of error of 50% has obviously turned into 100% and after traveling about a hundred yards I had to turn around bad. Although semicancellati signals are still all the way and if you find them more suspicious and look for them.
We arrive then, after a strange encounter with a bath sheet that seems lost in the woods, a clearing with picnic areas for dancing, food distribution, etc. ... since every year a festival is held to Rondinara around early July. The forest is partly a pine forest. And the bottom is a little chapel in perfect condition and a plaza with benches and wooden fences surrounding the lookout.

Cave

the left of the chapel is a stone sign indicating a descent into "the cave", the one where he retired already plagued by the devout "PRECI AND HERE PENANCES high 'MARGHERITA reason to leave FEVER - 1524 ", as the plaque affixed to the small cave at the base of the rocky cliff, which can be reached via a short, steep trail with steps and large wooden handrail.
I had a look inside the cave and actually, despite the low, narrow entrance, inside is "habitable".
Return along the same path, so I made a ring this time. An easy route, suitable for all, as I said at the beginning. To do and see.

Baita Noveglia - mill to Pellegri (Gravago)

The mill

A short stretch for two reasons:
- the game of football that I just Noveglia after 2 hours (with the game the football tournament of the evening still in legs);
- the maximum range of signal recording that the iPhone GPS does not arrive 2 hours.

This time tracking app as I used Trails sure it still is consuming more than EasyTrails.

I parked at the cabin Noveglia (football field) from which one of the lines of ' Ippovia Apennines (marked yellow and blue) that brought me up to Gravago where, come next to a house under construction, I cut through a small field in the direction of Gravago to avoid walking on the road. From 484 meters above sea level to 625 at the start of the country in just over a mile.
I arrived at the cemetery turn left and follow the trail of the white round Via degli Abati that took place there, coming from Osacca. But the path matches the ' 803rd (a variant dell'803) and then also the red and white trail of Cai. Can not go wrong then.
I skirted the 'old wash stone and I are into the woods. The track retains much of 'old paving stone and several dry stone walls that accompany and help in the slight slope to the stream. We get to wonderful oasis: the mill, exercise areas, the basins of water that creates the stream Although August is still a good amount of water.
If I had continued I would pass next to the famous rail "(a tower defense goes back and watch at the time of Ligurian) coming out to BRE. But
returning in time for the game so I can store a good location for less than 4 km an hour, perfect for a winter walk at lunch time, when finally the new house is ready and you Noveglia traferirò also the office .

Casermure - Lake Gazzi (Group of the Lama)

One of the stones Twin

A fast path is not official a couple of hours there and back, theoretically impossible according to the trail map 1:25.000 of 1999, but under the new "Ceno Valley - From Monte Penna Mount Barigazzo" of 2010, where, however, were rechecked and corrected all the main paths. Obviously not the secondary paths which change from year to year, landslides, changes in location of streams, paths created and moved by the loggers.
door in less than an hour a path 803, through a saddle in between the mountain and Prarbera Prinzera. can also be used as a path connecting to other destinations of the Group of the Lama. From the provincial
Bardi-Groppallo you park on the right, just before the bridge over the Rio Groppo Rose (50 meters before Casermure). There is a small clearing at the beginning of the path.



It starts alongside the creek, along the edge of a disused quarry talc which is on the opposite bank, the path of the old Roman kiln also marked on the Tabula Alimentaria Veleia. Taking care near the exercise areas that are 500 meters after the start of the route, between 830 and 900 meters, you can find several remnants of brick and terracotta roof tiles with scanaluture still made by hand. Continuing
in sight to their left, the taller of the two Twin Rocks (ophiolitic rocks placed on a small wooded plateau).

Gora of the lump seen by the plans of the blade, near the Mount
Prarbera

After exactly 777 meters you start, to 968 meters, we arrive at a triple junction. All lead to the goal but the easiest and simplest is to the left slightly that bypasses the Stone and then begins the ascent through a series of tall beech trees and undergrowth from clean, alternating with small grassy open.
A 1540 meters from the start, 1135 high, it crosses a path that goes from your right into the woods where aa must turn left down a small beginning that should not deceive because the first turn to the right dates back to come out to the first large lawn, where in summer you can meet bardigiani free grazing horses.
should be aware that reached the lawn (2060 meters, 1157 altitude) you turn left leaving what looks like the main trail which actually consists only of wood after only a few hundred meters. The left path is hidden from the grass but as soon take up the path back to the small Boschini visible. It is at this point has been reached in the highlands of the Blade Group, where you can quickly reach several interesting stops always moving between 1200 and 1250 meters above sea level. After about 400 meters in fact the path 803. If you want to return by the same route it is important to store this crossroads from which to begin the trail red and white as well as new signs of provincial signs which I gladly get used to after almost two and a half kilometers Guidance instinctive and "solo".

Horses grazing on the plans of the Lama

Complying with the climb to the left of the main path is located approximately 50 meters from a small lookout point where you see the plain, and after another 150 square meters with a a perfect view on the rump of Gora and the Po Valley with a field of view ranges from the low mountains of the Val d'Arda Mount Barigazzo. Continuing towards the Lama
sull'803 missing about 400 meters to Lake Gazzi , which is actually a pond that dries up in summer in the middle of a large meadow summit, attended by shepherds grazing ancient times as evidenced by the stones and semi-chipped which can be found easily along the edges, used for the construction of rudimentary drills with spears and arrows.

The castle seen from the trail to cross under Coloreto

A fast paced, the kind that I prefer because I can make them even daily during the summer after closure of using the light until later. But it is very nice even in winter.
It consists almost from the first half of the so-called Gas Trail (a road built by Eni to monitor the passage of piping natural gas) to 1000 meters at the departure and arrival a ring just above the plateau on Mount Coloreto Bardi, with only a vantage point on Castle truly spectacular. It starts from the Provincial
Bardi-Groppallo and the cartel of raw (coming from Bardi) you can park in a small plot on the left.



The trail is now marked with the trail red and white and also a blue sign of the new ones of the Province. You go up with an initial breakout of 60 meters in altitude in just 240 meters and takes you to a pleasant first flat fee that will last almost a kilometer.
walking alongside a cliff overlooking the river below you get to a gate in tubes Innocent people who needed to finish the pastures of horses. To climb over and do not open and if he were still closed or open should be left as is. You go from a flat path in wooded area until you cross a stream that also maintains a summer minimum water. After another 100 meters to slightly uphill to get to a crossroads that is the real start of the runway would be left, but at this point go straight to the board of a variant that lightens the pull of the climb, while increasing the length of the path. It is a small semi-loop of 800 meters through the woods that can dilute the difference in height from 827 to 891 meters on a path that if you remained on the runway would be 200 meters, crossing another stream within the forest itself. The first part of this semi-ring is in the last uphill and downhill through dense vegetation which almost close the path, after passing though a tunnel of branches and bushes that forces you to bend down and makes you re-open rent free, but new path.
At this point you have already covered more than a mile and it joins the track, turning right where the climb begins taking more challenging from an altitude of 891 to almost 1000 meters in less than a kilometer. It was here that a signal from air gas (those with the orange roof and characters of the code block letters) and a tube of water perpendicular to the main path, must turn right into the vegetation in small path to be explored on foot and holding the right to a pair of forks that meet once you start Coloreto ring, leading up to above the village of Bardi, staying for 2.4 km always at an altitude of around 1000 meters.
It crosses a thick wood of beeches and oaks, pretty clean as undergrowth and where you can meet wild boars and roe as happened during the recording of this GPX. Obviously they have escaped, as always there is no danger to hikers and fungaioli because the important thing is not to be haunted by the "cornered" forcing these animals to attack as often happens with hunters.
When the path starts to descend after about a mile pay attention to signals white and red, blue and white are also the route of the Abbots who are at a crossroads that leads to rise to its left. Continuing it would lead to the Bardi through the beautiful ghost town of Boioni which is just below. Turning instead enters into the path that will bring 803 to the starting point of the ring, circling the tip of Mount Coloreto sweet. But once you cross a line that goes parallel to the Bardi and from which you can see the castle magically visually isolated from the rest of the town which remains covered by the promontory of Boioni. Against the background of course you see the Pizzo d'Oca and Val Noveglia . At the end ring
meet on the trail a series of basins of stagnant water, always present all year round even during periods of drought caused by the erosion of tractors in a flat stretch with no sewer available. You can avoid venturing into the undergrowth to the left, cutting diagonally to the southwest for 50 yards and returning to the track, however, the gas where the descent begins to return.
have already been covered with 2 and 5 km, with no other diversions this time to return to the starting point.
