Obito Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

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.

Ascrea Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Panoramic terrace overlooking the nearby village of Paganico Sabino and with a unique view of the Turano lake. Nearby there is the only food market, but pay attention to the opening hours.

Posticciola Dam

Highlight • Monument

Built in the 1940s for the production of electricity, the Posticciola dam allowed the damming of the Turano river and the consequent formation of the lake. From here you can admire an incredible panorama of the natural environment that surrounds this artificial basin.

Splendid view from the bridge over the Turano lake with the village of Castel di Tora which stands out imposingly on the hill and the sweet blue waters of the lake which invite you to take a bath.
