Chestnut groves are part of Uscerno’s natural landscape. The recommended circular route “Anello Uscerno Lago di Gerosa” begins in Uscerno’s small village centre and leads mostly through well-maintained and particularly impressive chestnut groves to the Cascata di Arena, which is fed by the Torrente Fluvione. It follows a paved road towards Abetito to its highest point at an altitude of 970 metres. For planning the day, the start in the small village centre, the Cascata di Arena and the highest point can serve as specific reference points. For tour planning, the paved section towards Abetito can be considered as a separate part.

A second route perspective

On Percorso 2a of CAI-Itinerario MTB 2, the route passes through Ponte Paoletti, Bovecchia, Pescolla, Gaico, Meschia, Abetito and Uscerno before returning to Ponte Paoletti. The route therefore has its starting and return point at Ponte Paoletti; Uscerno lies on the same section.

Rural culture and historic buildings

The Museo della civiltà contadina “Stefano Cardarelli” contains a small collection of tools from the peasant culture widespread in the Monti Sibillini area. It is located in the hamlet of Uscerno in the Marche region and at “Le Casette”. If you appreciate regional everyday culture, the collection directs attention to the rural way of life connected with the landscapes around Uscerno.

The village itself also offers several historical points of interest. The Oratorio della Madonna del Carmine in Uscerno was renovated in the 17th century. According to an inscription carved into a stone block, the church of San Savino in Uscerno dates back to 1568. Interesting architectural details can be seen in many houses in Uscerno. The Mulino di Uscerno is located directly behind the Roman bridge and is blocked off by a high gate. For a walk around the village, the high gate blocking access to the Mulino di Uscerno is a specific point to consider when planning the route.
