点评:Montemonaco is a small gateway town to the Sibillini mountain range. If you find yourself here, the chances are you’re a hiker or a cyclist.
We were hiking. Our plan was to climb Monte Sibilla so Montemonaco was both our starting and our finishing spot.
A little shuttle bus leaves from Montemonaco and took us up the winding , stony road to the Rifugio Sibilla, where our hiking trail began.
It’s worth noting that the Rifugio has been long-closed so don’t plan on picking up any food or drinks there. Montemonaco will be your last chance to buy anything extra that you’ll need.
The shuttle bus kiosk is obviously located near the centre of the town (opposite Bar Zocchi). This is where you buy your tickets (3.50pp) and where the bus leaves from.
We made one big oversight. We’d not realised that the bus only leaves hourly, with the last bus leaving at 11am. Had we known, we’d have arrived in Montemonaco much earlier. As it turned out, we missed the 10am bus by the skin of our teeth and had to wait for the next one but at least there was still one more bus left. Given the walk ahead of us, we really should have been on one of the much earlier buses.
With an hour to spare, we sat in one of the handful of little nearby bars and had some hearty bread rolls stuffed with cold meats.
Later, when we returned at the end of the day, we stopped for drinks at Bar Zocchi, a nice little spot to unwind and re-live the day’s adventures over a drink.
GETTING THERE: We had a car and I’d imagine it would be very difficult to get to Montemonaco without one. Whilst there was a decent sized carpark, it was reasonably full and we couldn’t find a spot. We got lucky and found free, unlimited street parking.
翻译:蒙特莫纳科是通往锡比利尼山脉的一个门户小镇。如果您发现自己在这里,那么您很可能是徒步旅行者或骑自行车的人。
我们正在徒步旅行。我们的计划是攀登西比拉山,所以蒙特莫纳科既是我们的起点也是终点。
一辆小班车从蒙特莫纳科出发,带我们沿着蜿蜒的石路前往 Rifugio Sibilla,我们的远足小径就是从那里开始的。
值得注意的是,Rifugio 已长期关闭,因此不要计划在那里购买任何食物或饮料。蒙特莫纳科将是您购买所需额外物品的最后机会。
穿梭巴士亭显然位于市中心附近(Bar Zocchi 对面)。这是您购买车票(3.50 人)的地方,也是巴士从那里出发的地方。
我们犯了一个重大疏忽。我们没有意识到巴士每小时一班,最后一班巴士在上午 11 点出发。如果我们知道的话,我们就会更早到达蒙特莫纳科。事实证明,我们差点错过了上午 10 点的巴士,不得不等待下一班巴士,但至少还剩下一班巴士。考虑到我们前面的步行路程,我们真的应该乘坐一辆更早的公共汽车。
剩下一个小时的时间,我们坐在附近为数不多的几家小酒吧之一,吃了一些丰盛的面包卷,里面塞满了冷肉。
后来,当我们在一天结束时返回时,我们在 Zocchi 酒吧停下来喝了一杯,这是一个放松身心并一边喝一杯一边重温一天冒险的好地方。
到达那里:我们有一辆车,我想如果没有车的话很难到达蒙特莫纳科。虽然有一个相当大的停车场,但它已经满了,我们找不到停车位。我们很幸运,找到了免费、无限量的路边停车位。
