The C.A.I. trails Trail number 019

Part of lake Faetano, in the Republic of San Marino, over the torrent Marano, which marks the border with Montescudo-Monte Colombo. The trailer climbs up until it reaches the Castle of Albereto. From here, it is possible to reach the pinnacle of Mount San Felice and that of Mount Godio, where there is the best panoramic location of the Municipality. When the sky is clear, from the pinnacle of Mount Godio it is possible to see, naked eye, the Dalmatian Islands of the Adriatic sea. From the top of Mount Godio, the trail goes downhill, towards the town of Montescudo, which is followed by that of Torgnano, where there is a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary and an ancient wash-house. Torgnano gives access to the area of ecological rebalancing of river Rio Calamino, as well as the ancient wash-house of Monte Colombo (also known as “wash-house of Calamino”), in which converge the waters of the sources of river Rio Calamino. From this ancient structure – which goes back to the 18th century – starts an ancient trail made of fluvial flint and large steps, which is a branch great, since it has been protected for decades by a layer of land, which has hidden it, but also avoided any damage to it. It was brought back to light in 2004, after a cadastre research and also thanks to the accounts of elderly citizens. They described it as the path which led to the ancient wash-house and to water supply. This ancient trailer also leads to the Villa, the town, the Church of Saint Martin of Tours, as well as the Castle of Monte Colombo. From this ancient Castle, the path goes through Via Ca’ Balducci. This is a trail similar to the one we just mentioned which leads to the ancient wash–house of Calamino, as it also is made of fluvial flint and large steps. From Via Ca’ Balducci it is possible to proceed until via Colombara. Successively, there is the town of Taverna, the border with Gemmano, where there is also a ford over river Conca, in parallel to Chitararrara, which used to be an area of watermills and oil mills. The trail C.A.I. 019 goes through the valley of torrent Marano, as well as that of river Conca.
