Tips from the Community
An imposing Baroque tower from 1718, with three sections and a hipped roof, is visible from several sections of the trail. Ideal for photos and a rest. The Gothic arch of the wall and the remains of the medieval castle are nearby, making it worth stopping and wandering around a bit. 🚴♂️ MTB Tip: Good accessibility on compacted trails. A well-rounded route if you combine it with the Lancia archaeological site less than 30 km away. Light traffic, clean scenery, and plenty of rural charm.

Beautiful and well-kept refuge that we find in the recreational area of the same name. In the place we will find informative panels on the fauna and flora and a fountain. There are also tables to eat and parks for the little ones.
