PROGRAM:
Meeting with the guide and delivery of the bicycles. We will explore the paths of the Euganean Hills that look to the South. After a flat start that will serve as muscle activation, we will enter the first hills through the village of Valsanzibio, also home to the beautiful Villa Barbarigo, a Baroque masterpiece built by the Venetian family at the end of the 17th century.
Soon the lush nature of the Euganean Hills will envelop us, taking us to the first hills on easy dirt roads, reaching breathtaking panoramic paths. After a well-deserved break for the ritual photos, we set off again towards other hills in a gentle up and down on roads and single tracks through the woods until we reach the beautiful walled city of Este where we can visit the town and its castle with a nice coffee stop to tackle the second part of the route.
Once we get back on the road, the gentle hills of Mount Cecilia will entertain us before arriving in Arquà Petrarca, a small medieval village that enchants visitors with its evocative atmosphere and its rich history.
