The streets of the marble quarries between Nuvolera, Serle, Botticino are a splendid playground for gravel bikes, only attention to some streets and ravines it is preferable to follow them on Sunday when the large earth-moving vehicles are stopped.

Event organized by the guys from @negot. Wonderful route through the Bottocino quarries east of Brescia.
Path sometimes technical, sometimes smooth.

nice tour along the Marmöl Gravel route.
Beautifully challenging route due to the difference in altitude and slopes often in double figures. Some stretches of portage.

Unfortunately I missed the last 10 km or …
