Cultivation, meadows and rivers form a colourful chessboard that is dotted with farmhouses, medieval villages, churches and noble villas. T
he great thing about bike riding is also the ability to take breaks along the way. It’s only when you stop at a farmyard or stand in front of a Romanesque church facade that you can appreciate the intimacy of this land, where the coexistence between popular and religious beliefs derive from the traditions of peasant culture, of which we can still trace back today.
Hundreds of kilometres of suburban and country roads, mule tracks and carrarecce connect the Mugello valley to surrounding mountain forests. The bike tacks that run alongside the main river are a real treat for all types of cyclists and walkers to experience.
This area is far from traffic and noises. Instead, the bike paths cross small inhabited towns, anthropic or wild natural environments, and sites of remarkable historical and artistic interest.
