Compering Annual Day Functions

Misileo From the Senio to Monte Pozzo

In search of fall colors

Way ... immersed in a palette of colors that autumn is only capable of giving. The silence is absolute .... I'll stop ... listening ... a leaf falls off, waving as if to delay the inevitable fall, then the memory comes to me spontaneously
Leaf that you fell slightly in the breeze
under my feet, with mild
perhaps you recall complain because I trample you.
while she was alive on your green branch,

often passed, and you did not think;

think you died and I feel that I love you. ("A leaf, Nicolò Tommaseo)

The irresistible colors of autumn has brought us into the Valle del Senio where nature and history come together.

the place to reach us: from Castel Bolognese on the SS-306 Casolana Riolese, past Riolo, Casola Valsenio Mercatale and crossed the border between Romagna and Tuscany, now is the small village of Misileo (m. 315).

You can park your car near the church of Misileo.

With behind the church takes the narrow street, as well as route 625.

We pass the cemetery and you will reach Ca 'Castagno. Here the road ends. The trail continues for Castellaccio Monte, and Monte Molino tip of Rivacciola.

We pass the house and go left on a narrow road that winds through the woods. Shortly after you turn sharply to the right up a steep track that quickly leads to further narrow road.

few meters of the same and turn left (the arrow "up") (m. 465 hours - 0.20). Carry a steep climb up to Monte del Pozzo. Tucked away from the trees on the right, there is an ambush, fixed, for hunting.

Now the track is stretched and leads to a wide carriage (735 m - at 1.10). You go right, still following the main dirt road.







The autumn colors glow even if the sun you want

little further we find a great house with no name on the card.

In its courtyard is a secular hawthorn proudly displays his red berries

Even this solitary and lush oak has put on her radiant As autumn.

The smoke coming from the chimney of this house enriches the magical sight.

Pass Querceto Monte and Monte del Pozzo. Then, slightly downhill to get to a bar, the one passes, and soon after, you reach the meadow where they are placed and large round bales of hay (770 m - at 1.35).

For the return journey retraces the same path, but we recommend a good stop to admire the centuries-old chestnut trees that you see on the left.

If we can enjoy the their views and eat their tasty fruits we owe above all to Matilda of Canossa. The first of chestnut cultivation dates back to the High Middle Ages and the period of maximum development at the time of Countess Matilda of Canossa (1046-1115) , which indicated the sixth Matilda, proper planting distance between a chestnut and the other.
