The Musone walking and cycling path in Osimo

For those who enjoy walking or cycling, the Osimo area offers a peaceful route immersed in the countryside. This is the mixed-use path that connects the hamlets of Campocavallo and Passatempo, a route that lets you explore the more rural side of the area.

The path runs for several kilometers along the banks of the Musone River. Being flat and away from road traffic, it’s suitable for everyone, including families with children. Your walk or ride takes place in a rural setting, among cultivated fields and landscapes typical of the Valmusone.

Two sites of notable cultural and religious importance in Campocavallo make this route particularly interesting.

The Sanctuary of Campocavallo: A large Neo-Gothic basilica, an imposing building that stands out in the surrounding landscape. It is an important pilgrimage site, tied to a well-known local religious tradition.

The Covo Museum: Located near the sanctuary, this museum houses unique works of folk art. The “covi” are elaborate votive constructions, similar to small architectures, handcrafted by the faithful using wheat ears and other humble materials. The museum displays these artifacts, which represent strong evidence of the territory’s faith and rural tradition.
