It is a magnificent climb. It starts right in the central square of Barbarano, wedging itself into Via del Vicariato, and while still in the town centre you already find the first treacherous inclines. It continues on a wide, well asphalted road for a few kilometres, with a truly discontinuous profile, in which ramps that reach even above 10% are interspersed with restful, even downhill stretches. Halfway along the route, attention must be paid to a crossroads where Via Mandolare becomes Via Garzola. The small road to the right is Via San Donato, and this is the one to take. A few metres later a new junction distinguishes San Donato from Fagnini. One must take a right to the hermitage. From here the road narrows and becomes more fascinating. There are wonderful views to the south-east and almost total solitude to the end. Further downhill stretches alternate with uphill stretches, the asphalt is still good and a few groves allow you to enjoy the lower temperatures, while the rest of the climb is almost all in the sun.
All in all, a climb not to be missed, for the scenery, the variety of the profile, the excellent asphalt (which allows you to descend without difficulty) and the views.
Si tratta di una salita magnifica. Si prende proprio nella piazza centrale di Barbarano incuneandosi in Via del Vicariato e ancora nel centro città si trovano già le prime pendenze insidiose. Si prosegue su strada larga e ben asfaltata per qualche chilometro, con un profilo davvero discontinuo, in cui rampette che arrivano anche sopra il 10% sono intervallate da tratti di tutto riposo, addirittura in discesa. A metà del tracciato occorre fare attenzione ad un incrocio in cui Via Mandolare diventa via Garzola. La stradina a destra è proprio via San Donato, ed è quella che si deve imboccare. Pochi metri dopo un nuovo bivio distingue la San Donato dalla Fagnini. Bisogna prendere a destra per l'eremo. Da qui la strada si restringe e diventa più affascinante. Si godono panorami stupendi verso sud est e una solitudine quasi totale fino alla fine. Agli strappi si alternano ancora tratti in discesa, l'asfalto continua ad essere buono e qualche boschetto permette di godere di una temperatura più bassa, mentre il resto dell'ascesa è quasi tutto al sole.
Nel complesso una salita da non perdere, per i paesaggi, per la varietà del profilo, per l'ottimo asfalto (che permette di scendere senza difficoltà) e per i panorami.
