B&B Il Castagneto dei Sibillini: where it is

Abetito is one of the small settlements scattered across the territory of Montegallo, which has about twenty hamlets in all. From Uscerno, at about 500 m, a paved road climbs toward Abetito up to 970 m: it is the first section of the mountain bike loop that goes from Uscerno to Lago di Gerosa and, along the way, to the Arena waterfall, fed by the Fluvione stream.

B&B Il Castagneto dei Sibillini: what to see nearby

Abetito is the end point of the third stage of the Grande Anello dei Borghi Ascolani, which starts from the Ficocchia colony, descends to Uscerno, crosses the Fluvione and climbs back up to Meschia, in the municipality of Roccafluvione. Meschia has large rounded sandstone boulders, some houses rest directly on the rock and a small museum recalls the charcoal burner's trade.

The fourth stage, on the other hand, starts from Abetito toward Forcella: the trail enters the Monte Ceresa group, among chestnut groves, beech woods and abandoned villages, climbs to about 1,200 m with views of Vettore and passes the rock dwellings of Piandelloro, houses built against the sandstone walls.
