2° Stage Tappa Monte Busca - Premilcuore

Second stage route:

The stage resumes on the asphalt ridge, after a few steps you cross the village of Monte Busca and in a short time (be careful) because in two kilometers you can admire a “stony mouth” in the style of a volcano, fed by a thousand-year-old source of natural gas. It is said that it was frequented by Dante Esule in the land of Romagna and by Beatrice his inspiration, since her father had a summer residence in Portico, “Palazzo Portinari” still visible on the right entering the ancient village.
The road continues to descend to the ancient village of Portico, where it is possible to stock up on essentials and take a break.
You continue crossing the imposing Ponte della Maestà modeled after Schiena d’Asino, which leads into a hilly territory still cultivated, to then climb to Monte Orlando and encounter a small forest. Following the CAI paths n. 401 and then n. 343 you will arrive downhill on the asphalt road (Le Piane), which in a few km reaches the Premilcuore refuge
