This short stretch of road that crosses the Obito gorges is closed to vehicular traffic due to landslides, so it is really pleasant to cycle around. Entering from Ascrea you have to carry the bicycle by hand for about fifty meters to pass the rocks of an old landslide. You then pedal on a comfortable dirt road completely immersed in the silence of the woods of the Navegna Cervia Nature Reserve, accompanied by the sound of the waters of the Obito river.
