Montovolo

Montovolo is a mountain in the Grizzana Morandi area that reaches about 962 meters in elevation. The terrain offers several walking routes that wind through thick forests and cross rocky sections with different entry points.

The mountain served local communities for centuries as a landmark that marked territorial boundaries in the Emilia-Romagna region. Its role as a geographical reference shaped the way settlements and areas were organized in the surrounding zone.

Local residents organize seasonal festivals at the mountain base, continuing traditions that connect the community with their natural surroundings.

Access is via bus stop Belvedere on line 829, which is located near the main hiking trail entrance. The walk from the stop to the trail start is straightforward and takes only a few minutes on foot.

Several viewpoints scattered across the mountain reveal panoramic views across the northern Apennine range and the Bologna provincial territory. These sweeping vistas make the climb a rewarding experience for many visitors.
