La Roccaccia: things to see nearby

The Gole dell'Infernaccio were carved by the Tenna between Monte Priora and the Sibilla. At the entrance are the Pisciarelle, small waterfalls dripping from the wall of Monte Zampa; from there, in about an hour of walking, the path climbs to the Hermitage of San Leonardo al Volubrio, at 1,128 m, rebuilt stone by stone by Father Pietro Lavini starting in 1971.

Not far away is also the Sanctuary of Madonna dell'Ambro, an ancient Marian shrine, among the most important in the Marche.
