Downstream from San Martino in Pedriolo, keep the trail towards Via Riniera or ford towards the left side of the river where possible (easy in summer).

Update June 25. The route is no longer practicable, the trees on the ground, the uneven ground from the bulldozers have made the route practically impossible. I don't know if it is feasible from Castel San Pietro, but not from Castel Guelfo

Fascinating village for its architecture and the street art that is scattered throughout the citadel.

Tough climb but on dirt roads and panoramic from above towards the Sillaro Valley

Coming from Monte del Re the route descends towards Sillaro, deviating from via Riniera, which at that point is a dirt road. It is essentially a "single track", but certainly within everyone's reach, fun and panoramic. I have not tried it, but it seems to me that it also lends itself to being traveled uphill.

Unfortunately today 28-10-2024 the little bridge is completely destroyed by the fall of a tree after the last floods of the Sellustra torrent

Done yesterday, the route from Castel Guelfo to Castel San Pietro is about 8km all up and down with curves, super beautiful and fun!! The passage over the stream is doable as long as you have neoprene shoes to walk with dry feet and then continue. Halfway after passing under the highway bridge, towards Castel San Pietro there is a tree that blocks the path, but you can get around it on foot by passing a bit in the woods. Overall the route is clean and doable even with a bit of mud after a rain
