Tips from the Community
Literally cut in two by the Bidente river which for a long time marked the border between the Papal State and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Santa Sofia is practically the gateway to the wonderful Casentinesi Forests National Park, which has protected over 36,000 hectares of forests divided between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany since 1993, and also the monumental Ridracoli dam which collects the waters of the river to quench the thirst of the whole of Romagna even in times of worst drought.

From the center of Civitella di Romagna begins the 'terrible' climb of Monte delle Ruote. Just under 3 km (2,791 meters indicates a plaque on the Sulparo pass) with an average gradient of 13.3% and peaks of 22%, they overcome a difference in altitude of 370 meters. On the Monte delle Ruote there is a monument to the cyclist and a significant plaque that reads: 'Beautiful and impossible of Romagna - Like a lover, first I fascinate you, then I hate you, finally I love you'.
