    Embark on a moderate 5.1-mile (8.2 km) hike through the Emilia-Romagna hills, a journey that typically takes about 2 hours and 43 minutes with 1269 feet (387 metres) of elevation gain. The trail leads you along ancient paths, offering glimpses of the region's natural beauty. You will discover the impressive Cascata dell'Alferello, a 30-meter high waterfall with a shallow pool perfect for cooling off. Along the way, you can also explore the Sasso Spaccato, a massive sandstone boulder naturally split in two, creating a unique passage.

    To begin your adventure, head to Alfero village, where the path starts near the old cemetery. Parking is conveniently available at Località Mazzi, making it easy to access the trailhead. This route is well-marked, guiding you through the varied terrain. Consider starting your hike in the morning to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and avoid the warmest parts of the day, especially during summer months.

    This trail follows part of the historic CAI trail 135, an ancient mulattiere that once connected mountain villages. You will pass the Ponte Romano, a stone bridge built in 1839, adding a touch of history to your hike. The route winds through mixed forests of beech and chestnut, showcasing the diverse ecosystem of the Apennines. The combination of historical pathways and natural wonders makes this a notable hike in the region.
