Tips from the Community
It is one of the most panoramic points of the Sibillini, on the top of a vast plateau that preserves the most beautiful Renaissance sanctuary in the Region. Looking from the pass towards Macereto, the waters that flow to the right end up in the Adriatic, those to the left in the Nera and then in the Tiber and then in the distant Tyrrhenian Sea.

At about 750 meters above sea level, this pass is located, not too far from the summit of Mount d'Aria. Proceeding south along the road to Camerino, there was once the Beregna tower, built in 1382 by Giovanni da Varano as part of the fortification between Camerino and Matelica. The tower, already in disuse at the end of the 17th century, finally collapsed in the 1970s following some seismic shocks.

as an alternative to the SS 361 it is possible to travel along this dirt road; in the direction of S.Severino, go past the stream and the railway at a level crossing; the surface of the first section is not very good, the direction of the city progressively improves.
