Convenient, protected connection. Interesting views of the railway bridge and old factories, now, I fear, abandoned to their fate.

A beautiful loop. Visibility is a little less clear now due to the overgrown trees.

easy, going from Ternate vs Varano Borghi and back to the park in Ternate, the climbs are less, but a little softer and more rideable, for children, apart from the hundreds of pedestrians, given the wonderful day, it is always worth it; you can do it more than once, as I did, reverse the route, leave the family to sunbathe and let off steam a bit
