Parco Sasso Simone e Simoncello

Rest Areas

Sasso Simone e Simoncello Park Authority has provided the protected area with several rest areas, where hikers and visitors will find information and where they can relax. They are situated in strategic points at the beginning of the most fascinating trails of the Park, in green and comfortable areas equipped with tables, benches, and litter bins useful if you want to have your packed lunch here. In the rest areas of Passo della Cantoniera, Ponte Cappuccini, and Miratoio there are also toilets. Moreover, the notice boards in these areas represent for tourists valid info points: they include the map of the Park trails, all adequately marked by C.A.I., and further useful information to visit the protected area and find accommodation structures. In some particularly charming points of Miratoio, Monteboaggine, Cippo, and on Mt. Carpegna visitors will find some bas-reliefs in copper which show the landscape of the park. Their author is maestro Giovanni Gentiletti, sculptor and teacher at Centro T.A.M. (Trattamento Artistico dei Metalli - artistic metal treatment) in Pietrarubbia. Further rest areas are situated in Carpegna, in Parco delle Querce (Oak park) and in Giardino Mezzanotte (Midnight garden), in San Sisto and in Eremo di Villagrande, near the ski lift of Mt. Carpegna.
