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.

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.
