Casteldelci, a small municipality spread across a green sea

Where
What is it and where is Casteldelci
A few houses scattered among the hills of Romagna, like a castaway among the waves. But how much gentleness there is in the soft curves of the Apennines... we are in Casteldelci, a scattered municipality in the province of Rimini, in the Marecchia Valley, made up of several hamlets and immersed in welcoming nature, to be explored without haste.
Why it is special: the ancient castle tower and the green sea of hills
In this green sea, the feelings that prevail are of pure serenity and joy of discovery, but once upon a time Casteldelci too, as a good medieval village, had to defend itself from invading peoples and neighbors thirsty for conquest. For this reason, there was also a castle here, of which only the memory remains today and one of the 4 ancient towers, which over the centuries has been transformed into the town's civic tower.
Not to be missed: the trails around Casteldelci
This small village nestled in the Apennines is a paradise for hikers: there are many walks that start here and allow you to explore the surroundings, such as the walk that takes you across the Ponte Vecchio and then continues into nature.

The walk continues to Ripa del Lamento.
After reaching Poggio Calanco, you can continue the walk along a path that leads to the sight of the Ripa del Lamento, a stratified geological formation that rises next to the Senatello stream. The walk is very pleasant, immersed in beautiful nature, and the final view of this rock towering over the stream and surrounding woods is yet another gift of Casteldelci to those who take the time to explore it with calm and curiosity.
