From the centre of Civitella Roveto to the square in Meta are 7.5 km, which are quite interesting for the landscape and the places crossed. First part with higher and irregular gradients, second part with less steep and more regular gradients. The road surface has been repaired (August 2025) in several parts. Moderate traffic, but rather narrow road with many bends and poor visibility. The arrival in the main square of Meta repays the effort.... read more

Dal centro di Civitella Roveto fino alla piazza di Meta sono 7.5 km piuttosto interessanti per il paesaggio ed i luoghi attraversati.
Prima parte con pendenze più elevate ed irregolari, seconda parte con pendenze meno elevate e più regolari.
Il fondo stradale é stato sistemato (agosto 2025) in più parti.
Traffico moderato, ma strada piuttosto stretta e con molte curve a scarsa visibilità.
L'arrivo nella piazza principale di Meta ripaga della fatica.
