The Provincial Road Cava Ruglio - Case Granieri starts out flat but after a few hundred meters has very interesting slopes and leads up to the top where you can enjoy a beautiful view.
The road is not at all busy and can be divided into two parts: at the beginning gentle slopes and asphalt in disastrous conditions (you have to slalom through the holes), then double-digit slopes and asphalt in decent condition.
Especially the second part deserves to be traveled by lovers of climbs and views.
