The ancient hamlet of Lozzole(The description of the above mentioned itinerary can be found in the travel guide: “Dalla Futa e il mare – 38 itineraries by mountain bike, edited by A. Zambrini . Bacchilega Ed.)

The trail sets off from the hamlet of Palazzuolo (423 metres above sea level) in the direction of the Sambuca Pass. Just past the fraction of Quadalto and the bridge, the trail moves left onto a dirt road that climbs in the direction of Cambè, Campergozzole, and, at last, the quaint uninhabited hamlet of Lozzole (796 m). The CAI 505 trail is just off to the left. At about 1 km past the hamlet, the trail bypasses the main dirt road that heads towards Mount Prevaligo (950 m) and continues along the footpath to the right that leads directly back to CAI 505.

The trail bypasses the descent (CAI 529 A), and moves towards SP ( Provincial Road ) 306. It goes right along the paved road for 300 metres and then left along a footpath marked CAI 505. At 3 km from the beginning of the path, near the mine, the trail bypasses a path to the right that leads to Gruffieto, and what's left of this 18 th century villa, and descends to a fork in the road. The trail does not go beyond the gate, but continues left down to the beautiful Salecchio church and then right onto SP 306 to Palazzuolo sul Senio.
