From The Abbey of Monte Mauro

February 20, 2011

Tour the badlands and the plaster of the Regional Park of the Chalk Vein. While not the main ridge of the Chalk Vein is a walk, very scenic and varied, to do only with dry soil, or clay that sticks to the soles of hiking boots, obviates the wagon-armed them. Uphill we slip and become heavy boots. The day of the excursion was very wet so instead of going to redo the track, we went to Borgo Rivola where the bus took us back to Riolo T. For the timetable click here . Via Fornace, from where the hike begins, is the first left after the establishment of the baths.
