Built by Grand Duke Leopold II in the 1830s, the SS67 crosses the northern Apennines via the Passo del Muraglione at 907 m, curve after curve through chestnut and beech forest past the iconic stone shelter wall at the summit.

From San Godenzo on the Tuscan side the road climbs through dense mixed forest, the bends tightening with altitude to the summit, named for the long stone 'muraglione' wall built to shelter travellers, now a rider gathering point with views north toward Romagna. The steeper, narrower descent drops into the Acquacheta valley to San Benedetto in Alpe.
