We advise against undertaking the route in the summer period. The poorly maintained trail gets lost in very dense and at times inaccessible vegetation. Brambles and thistles invade the already poorly marked path, which is partially retraced by grazing cows. Not recommended.

Almost uninhabited village that retains a great authenticity. There are fountains for refreshment.

I wouldn't say racing bike, the surface often changes from light dirt to ruined asphalt. Very fun for sure on gravel and mountain bike. Panoramic and very particular.
