Brisighella e il suo centro storico con la rocca e la torre dell'orologio, figura nella lista dei borghi piu belli d'Italia ed offre le tipiche eccellenze gastronomiche romagnole, oltre al pregiato olio che si produce solo nel suo territorio.

THE ITINERARY OF THE POPES AND THE OLD ROME FIUGGI RAILWAY
We are on one of the most demanding stages of the entire GTL, 80 km for about 1200 m of elevation gain. However, the route offers the possibility of being further fragmented, since several railway stations are located along the route and you can therefore use the bike transport service by train to shorten the journey.On the other hand, this stage offers a huge historical and cultural heritage, as well as sections of the existing cycle path, the route of the former Rome-Fiuggi railway. Starting from Frosinone, we continue to follow the route of the Eurovelo 5 Romea/Francigena, and we reach the village of Ferentino; from here begins the first of the climbs that characterize the course of the GTL7: the first objective is the village of Fumone, which overlooks the Ernici Mountains, on the top of which stands the imposing Castle owned by the Caetani family, the same as Boniface VIII: here Celestine V was imprisoned and spent his last days, the one who out of cowardice made the great refusal according to Dante; A gloomy and sinister place, it has originated various legends of ghosts over the centuries.From here we continue to the quiet Lake Canterno, until we go up towards Fiuggi, a well-known spa, where we can follow the route of the old railway that until a few decades ago led to Rome: today it is a marked cycle path that passes one after the other the stations of the past, sheltered from the traffic of the Via Prenestina.With a detour it is worth reaching Anagni, another delightful papal village rich in architecture and art.Acuto, Piglio, Serrano, and the route reserved for bicycles is interrupted: avoiding the Prenestina, we continue on Eurovelo 5 which leads us to other wonderful medieval towns such as Gimignano, Genazzano and Cave, ancient papal fiefdoms and a pilgrimage destination for writers such as Gregorovius, and above all Palestrina, whose Temple of Fortuna Primigenia stands out as one of the major pagan sanctuaries of Roman times. From this area there are also many beautiful roads towards the Prenestini Mountains, to deviate from the course of the GTL and challenge the climbs a bit.We hen end the route in Zagarolo, where there is another railway junction for Rome

Questo percorso lungo ed estremo parte dal piccolo come di La Magdeleine. Scendendo lungo la strada che porta al lago di Lod (Antey St. Andre) si raggiunge la strada statale appena fuori dal paese. Giunti alla statale purtroppo non ci sono molte alternative e occore raggiungere l'abitato di Antey St. André su asfalto (procedere con cautela auto). Cio nonostante la riserva naturale del lago di Lod e la graziosa frazione di Challien non vi deluderanno. Dopo circa 5 km si raggiunge Antey St. André e svoltando a sinistra si attraversal la frazione di Petit Antey per giungere in una splendida strada sterrata attrezzata che vi porta proprio in centro. Da li si attraversa la statale che sale a Cervinia per imboccare un sentiero lungo il fiume Marmore e vi porta alla frazione di Cerian. Piccola e praticamente inviolata, la frazione di Cerian, una volta attraversata, permette di raggiungere la centralina dell'Acqua di Antey St. Andre con una ripida e divertente discesa su sterrato. Si sale nuovamente per arrivare a Chessin e dopo aver riattraversato la statale si imbocca uno splendido sterrato che porta in collina a Chatillon. Da qui un percorso conosciuto e assai frequentato, il Rue de La Plaine, permette di raggiungere la zona delle Terme di St. Vincent. La parte di divertente e meno faticosa finisce qui. Dalla zona Termale si sale ora alla frazione di Moron (St. Vincent) e dopo circa un paio di km sulla sinistra si sale ancora per raggiungere Perrieres fantastica frazione immersa nel verde piu incontaminato. Una volta attraversata la frazione di Perrieres una poderale pianeggiante vi porta nuovamente a Chatillon per farvi iniziare l'ultima faticosa ma emozionante salita. Si attraversa un fitto bosco seguendo una strada asfaltata che porta a Nissod, piccola frazione che domina la collina di Chatillon, un paesaggio emozionante vi accoglierà. Oltrepassato Nissod si continua a salire ma la strada diventa sterrata e dopo circa 4 km si raggiungono gli alpeggi a dir poco meravigliosi ai piedi del Monte Zerbion. Non è ancora finita la salita....oltrepassati gli alpeggi si raggiunge la Valserena, un enorme radura immersa nel gran bosco della collina di Chatillon, ok la somma è quasi raggiunta, un simpatico pianoro seguito da una splendida discesa vi porterà ora al magico Promiod. Ok ci siamo la metà è vicina si sale nel bosco si incontra un bellissimo alpeggio incastonato nel bosco e voila, all'orizzonte La Magdeleine....
