Hi everyone, at the beginning of the road there is a sign with the altitude: it is 9.1 km, average gradient 5.8%, maximum 12
Be careful at the top if it is windy (like today 15/04/24) and keep in mind that first you descend and then climb up to 1036 meters of Prato all'Albero before descending back to Colla di Casaglia (913)
The B&B Le Spiagge restaurant immediately after the pass is recommended

Palazzo dei Capitani, Palazzuolo sul Senio

Highlight • Historical Site

Palazzuolo sul Senio is a medieval village in the upper Mugello, in the province of Florence, although it mainly overlooks the Romagna Apennine side and the population speaks Romagna.
A small town with unique and uncontaminated landscapes, nestled in the Apennine mountains which, with merit, has been defined as the ideal village in Italy. The fourteenth-century Palazzo dei Capitani, residence of the Captains of the People, which in 1506 gave accommodation to Pope Julius and Niccolò Machiavelli. Today the Palace is home to the Archaeological Museum of Alto Mugello and the Museum of Rural Civilization and Mountain People.

Scodellino Mill of Castel Bolognese

Highlight • Monument

built in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries, a few years after the founding of the "Castrum Bononiense", which took place in 1389, as is clear from a parchment by messer Filippo Guidotti. After the sale in 1442, the municipality of Castel Bolognese acquired its possession in 1489, which it has kept continuously until today.

It probably owes its name to the flour "scudella" that the miller kept for milling. It rises about two kilometers from the center of Castel Bolognese on the canal of the mills near the "Contessa" fund; it is a rustic construction, made of exposed brick and of solid structure, which well reveals its original structure. It is the last still existing example of the series of mills built in the 1400s along the canal that took its name from them.
