Tips from the Community
On the outskirts of Perugia, there are many places where cycle and pedestrian paths have been created. This is one of the most interesting, winding for a few kilometers between San Sisto, Castel del Piano, and Capanne, almost joining the old railway road to Tavernelle, now converted into a cycle path.

Located near the village of Spina, the Rocca di Sant'Apollinare is a place rich in history and timeless images. Once a defensive fortress, it became a place of worship and production, and today it is immersed in a centuries-old olive grove. Getting there requires a bit of effort, but the reward is guaranteed.

When you leave the provincial road of Spina, after a short stretch of easy dirt road you come across the intersection for the Nestore ring. You can also do it on Gravel, but I recommend MTB, in some sections the terrain is a bit "technical". The section inside the woods is beautiful

On the route through the Umbrian countryside between Castiglione della Valle and Mercatello, skirting the small village of Pieve Caina, you'll come across charming, often abandoned, yet very characteristic buildings that are worth a stop and a photo.

The Ellera-Tavernelle railway was a single-track, non-electrified railway line that connected the Ellera-Corciano station, on the Foligno-Terontola line, with Tavernelle, running along the Nestore river valley. Since the planned extension to Chiusi (on the Florence-Rome railway) was never built, the line always remained an isolated section, and was decommissioned after only 7 years from its activation. Now there remain the sections that are used by pedestrians and cyclists, with MTB and Gravel.

A small hamlet at the foot of Mount Pugliano, you can still see the remains of the castle tower, now in ruins. In the Middle Ages it was very popular with the nobility of Perugia
