SP586 closed due to road collapse But the dam is still there...😥 You can cycle or walk if you want, but be extremely careful.

A beautiful village perched in the Ligurian Apennines. It's worth stopping to see the well-preserved walls of the Malaspina Fieschi Doria Castle, for an excellent coffee at Bar Leon D'oro, and especially for the "Gobeletti" pastries from the Chiesa pastry shop.

if you want to take a break along the climb, here you can refill your water bottle, and there is a bakery with excellent bread with local cured meats and cheeses. From the village you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Trebbia valley
