Pietracuta – San Leo – Ponte S.Maria Maddalena – Pietracuta

This time we leave from Pietracuta, from the car park that is parallel to the SP Marecchiese and turn towards S.Leo. After the café at the petrol station, continue across the crossroads, then after a few couple of metres turn left to leave the paved road and go onto a farm road. You reach the crest of the Case Belvedere and then continue to climb up on a paved road to Tausano. Now the tour continues on dirt roads until you get to Varco. Turn right and follow the dirt road to the next crossroads where you go up on the left and you reach another crest that you follow until you descend at the cemetery of S.Leo and the village there. Now the tour goes down towards Secchiano/ Novafeltria and then you turn right on a little path until you get to the Franciscan monastery of S.Igne. Continue below the monastery until you reach the Marecchia road at S.Maria Maddalena and continue towards Rimini untilyou get back to Pietracuta.
