Parco naturale regionale del Sasso Simone e Simoncello, Regional nature park in Pesaro-Urbino and Rimini Provinces, Italy.
The regional park covers roughly 4,800 hectares across several municipalities and features distinct mountain peaks, including Mount Carpegna at about 1,400 meters high. The terrain displays a varied landscape with hills and mountains that together form a connected natural area.
The protected area was established in 1994 as one of four parks created by the Marche region along its border with Tuscany. These creations were part of a regional effort to conserve these landscapes.
The area has ancient roots in the Montefeltro territory and maintains this identity through its local practices today. You can see how people work using traditional methods and produce regional cheeses that keep the heritage alive.
The visitor center in Pennabilli and the natural history museum offer information about hiking trails and activities in the park. The Alta Via dei Parchi guide is also a helpful resource for planning your visit and understanding the trails.
The area sits at a watershed between two river valleys, which allows it to support different ecological systems in a compact space. This geographic position makes it a particularly valuable place for exploring varied habitats.
