This is a beautiful cycle path, partly through small forests and along the immediate bank of the Toce (watch out: there is a brutal embankment towards the river); excellently suited for gravel

There are blocks at the entrance and exit of the bridge - in theory to prevent mopeds from passing. Result: it is complicated to pass with bikes loaded with luggage, with a trailer or with three-wheeled bikes :-/
