La via degli Dei is a hiking trail that connects the city of Bologna to that of Florence. The path extends along the Apennines and the name of the road most likely derives from the localities it crosses: Monte Adone, Monzuno, Monte Venere, and Monte Lunario.
The route is about 120 kilometers long and is divided into five daily stages. It starts from Bologna and immediately passes through the wonderful Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, continues towards Casalecchio di Reno, and upon reaching Sasso Marconi, you can admire places from past eras such as the Ponte di Vizzano, the Roman aqueduct, and the oasis of San Gherardo.
Among the natural areas, you reach the evocative Contrafforte Pliocenico Nature Reserve and protected area where important fossil evidence is preserved.
A historical and naturalistic journey, among centuries-old chestnut trees and ancient buildings, including: the Bosco ai Frati convent, the Trebbio Castle, and the Roman theater and its acropolis in Fiesole.
Renaissance Florence is the cherry on top of the finale of a varied journey, immersed in a historical and cultural atmosphere that is more unique than rare.
