Pizzeria Jolly Blu: what to see nearby

For a day outdoors, the Piani di Ragnolo are worth the drive up: an upland plain in the Sibillini reached from Santa Maria Maddalena, the pass between Sarnano and Pintura di Bolognola. After leaving the car along the road to Acquacanina, without driving onto the meadows, the route follows the gravel path marked with the letter G: in 15-20 minutes it reaches the pass of Monte Pizzo Meta, recognizable by the cross on the summit.

From there it is possible to climb to the top or continue along the ridge that crosses the plain, all meadows and pastures with very few trees. After about an hour a mule track leads back toward the provincial road and the pass. The bloom is at its best in late spring; there is very little shade along the route and no springs, so water and sun protection are essential.
