Monte Mauro: panoramic hike in the Vena del Gesso Romagnola Regional Park
A classic half-day hiking route that offers scenery of rare beauty, immersed in a wild and unspoiled environment. The itinerary can be easily combined with the next one, creating a suggestive figure-eight loop: a full-day trek, not too demanding, ideal even during winter months thanks to its predominantly south-facing exposure.
The trail develops on the Monte Mauro massif, the highest point of the central sector of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola. The toponym “Mauro” comes from a historically inaccurate translation of the original “Mavòr,” meaning “greater,” indicating its significance. Along the way, in addition to breathtaking views, you can observe vegetation with typically Mediterranean characteristics: holm oaks, junipers, and terebinths dominate the southern slope, creating a unique natural setting.
This Monte Mauro hiking itinerary is perfect for those seeking an immersive experience in the nature of Romagna, combining history, geology, and biodiversity, with trails suitable both for trekking enthusiasts and those looking for a relaxing panoramic walk.
