The Montedoglio dam

total41 Km .

Duration approx 1.5 - 2.5 hrs

Simple and varied route, perfect for those who like the overage difficulty with changing landscape. This route is almost completely around the lake of the Montedoglio dam and is suitable even for beginners.

 

A (5 Km)

from Sansepolcro along the state road towards Pieve Santo Stefano, after a roundabout, which is a crossroads for those going to Rimini, the road climbs gradually and after a curve on the left goes down under the highway E45 and climbs again to continue towards the lake which you will see in the distance. The road continues up an down under the E45 until you reach, in the middle of the climb, a deviation well visible on the right going decisively uphill and a beaten path.

B (2 Km)

This continues always on the tarred road to reach a bridge that is of the same height of the beginning of the lake. From here you climb towards the locality Madonnuccia. The climb continues and after a brief descent, you will find a very short but "poissonous" climb in front of you to be traversed at the top of which we will go left.

D (21 Km)

Uphill and downhill, flats and curves the road runs for several kilometres along the lake until you reach the deviation for Sigliano clearly indicated on the left. It then passes under the highway after which it crosses a bridge on the river Tiber. Along here you will see a breading farm for horses (Formole). The road is flat and passes a small, graceful church barely visible above the road. From here you have three uphill slopes after which you descend to reach a bridge on the mouth of the river Singerna which enters in to the lake. After this bridge the road climbs until you reach a terrace over the lake. Continuing on the right we will reach the road leading to Caprese Michelangelo. Here we should take the road on the left downhill over a bridge to pass after which you will see a deviation on the left. Continue on the tarred road.

 

E (10 Km)

You will now pass the locality of "La Motina". The traffic is not too heavy and the road is quite flat until you reach the climb towards Anghiari and the deviation for Sansepolcro in descent. Going downhill you will reach the plain of Valtiberina and the road crosses the little town of Santa Fiora where the tract ends.

G (3 Km)

Continuing along this road, you will reach a stop sign where you should turn left and after going through an under passage that is under the highway you will reach Sansepolcro.
