The Via degli Dei (Route of the Gods) is a hiking itinerary of about 130 km divided into 5 stages that links the city of Bologna to Florence across the Apennines. It owes its name to the toponyms of some of the places it passes through: Monte Adone; Monzuno (Mons Iovis, Mount of Jupiter); Monte Venere and Monte Luario (Lua, a Roman mythological goddess to whom the weapons of defeated enemies were consecrated). First the Etruscans and then the Romans used this route to develop their trade to and from the Po Valley. The hiker finds himself walking in a varied natural environment: from the hills of Bologna to the Reserve of the Pliocene Foothills, touching the peaks of the Apennines and then descending through the Tuscan landscapes to Fiesole and Florence. An unspoilt territory, rich in history and traditions. The guide also proposes the variant to the Bilancino artificial lake and offers a constantly updated list of contacts and facilities thanks to a qrcode link to the web pages on the official site.
