The climb to Monte Santo di Lovertino on the south side is a short but rather peppery one, especially at the start, when it has a few dozen metres with a double-digit gradient. But the road soon flattens out and never drags the cyclist's neck, who also has a few downhill stretches to catch his breath. At the top you can enjoy the view of a beautiful church (the parish church of San Silvestro), and you can also choose to stop or continue straight ahead along an unpaved road (a double track, the bikers would say) that is quite comfortable even if more suitable for gravel, and in any case impassable in the rain. For those who like Tour of Flanders sensations there is also the possibility of turning left in front of the church and "enjoying" a few hundred metres of concrete climb around 15%. The reward is reaching a plateau planted with vines, from which there are beautiful views of both the Berici and Monte della Madonna, although I cannot assure you that you have not at this point entered private property thus trespassing on other people's land.
Beware of the asphalt. The higher you go, the worse it gets, and on the descent this must be taken into account.
In summary; it is worth making a diversion if you are in the area, especially for some beautiful views of the hills. But if you are coming to the Euganean Hills and do not have much time, it is better to favour more rewarding ramps.
La salita al Monte Santo di Lovertino lato Sud è uno strappetto breve, ma abbastanza pepato, soprattutto all'inizio, quando presenta qualche decina di metri con pendenza in doppia cifra. Ma la strada spiana ben presto e non tira mai il collo del ciclostradista, che ha pure qualche tratto di discesa per tirare il fiato. In cima si gode la vista di una bella chiesa (la pieve di San Silvestro), e si può anche scegliere si fermarsi oppure proseguire a diritto per una strada non asfaltata (una double track, direbbero i bikers) abbastanza comoda anche se più adatta alla gravel, e comunque impraticabile con la pioggia. Per chi ama sensazioni da Giro delle Fiandre c'è anche la possibilità di svoltare a sinistra di fronte alla chiesa e "godersi" qualche centinaio di metri di salita in cemento intorno al 15%. Il premio è il raggiungimento di un pianoro coltivato a vite da cui si godono bei panorami sia verso i Berici che verso il Monte della Madonna, anche se non posso assicurare che non si sia a questo punto entrati in una proprietà privata violando così terreni altrui.
Attenzione all'asfalto. Più si sale più peggiora, e in discesa va tenuto conto di quest'aspetto.
In sintesi; vale la pena fare una deviazione se si è in zona, soprattutto per qualche bella vista dei colli. Ma se si viene sugli Euganei e non si ha molto tempo meglio privilegiare rampe più appaganti.
