Martino Pederzolli
July 30, 2023, Lunigiana - La ciclovia dei castelli

Easy and suggestive route, but calling it a cycle path is an exaggeration. To be done only in MTB or GRAVEL, no BDC.

Translated by Google

castle cycle route is a circular cycling route on the banks of the Magra which passes through the municipalities of Pontremoli, Filattiera, Bagnone, Villafranca and Mulazzo. 47 km of which 29 on asphalt, 3 on pavement and 15 km on dirt road. A loop identified by brown vertical signs with a white arrow and a bike drawing that can be started from any point on the route. 1.       The cycle route has its symbolic beginning in the historic center of Pontremoli, near the Medieval Cresa bridge. From here you cycle along the tree-lined avenue of Chiosi, its bridge, the wonderful Baroque Villa Dosi Delfini and climb up the Piagnaro hill, dominated by the Castle and its Museum of Lunigianesi Stele Statues. You go back down to Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica, the beating hearts of the city and cycle on pavement until you exit the village from Porta Fiorentina
