MTB ITINERARY IN THE HEART OF THE SIBILLINI

 
FROM JUNE TO OCTOBER

SARNANO - DAY 1
In the afternoon visit to the charming small medieval village of Sarnano which became an autonomous municipality in the second half of the thirteenth century and still preserves several buildings of historical importance. The old center of Sarnano is perched on top of a hill and mainly built with bricks, and this lands the village its very peculiar feature: it is still shaped like a “castrum”, a round fortified village. Overlooking the Piazza Alta you will see Palazzo dei Priori, Palazzo del Popolo with its theater, the Teatro della Vittoria, Palazzo del Podestà and the romanesque church of Santa Maria di Piazza, preserving remarkable artworks. Do not miss the Cascatelle di Sarnano: these are three suggestive waterfalls not far from the historic center, connected by an itinerary that has taken the name of Via delle Cascate Perdute (path of the lost waterfalls).
In fact, two of these three jumps of the Tennacola stream remained long hidden by vegetation and only came back to light in 2020. It is an easy, just under 6 km long itinerary , with very little elevation gain (80 meters on average) and only one short steep slope before the Antico Molino waterfall.
