Paths for use - From Bellaria to Villa Torlonia Path taken from "Paths - Rimini paths between nature and history", hiking guide of the province of Rimini, a guide only in pdf downloadable at the following link: https://www.riviera.rimini.it/publication/sentieri.html Path: Bellaria - Cycle and pedestrian path Paths of Use - Bridge over the Rio Salto - Via Viona - Villa Torlonia (La Torre) and the Poesia Pascoli Park - Return on the same path Easy route, totally flat, on dirt roads, beaten paths and short stretches of asphalt near the Villa Torlonia. A bit monotonous to do it on foot, the landscape is very anonymous but the destination (Villa Torlonia) is certainly worth admiring. A few lateral deviations to discover the beautiful and short circular path where the trees are inclined almost to create the vaults of a porch. Suitable for dogs: Ni Avoid the summer period and hot days. The path is all in the sun and the presence of the few trees on the side of the track I do not know how much shade they can make ..... today a gray day. Asphalt section with almost no traffic. Sources of water: none More info on the route: https://www.comune.bellaria-igea-marina.rn.it/citta/cms/page/territorio-sentieri_uso/ The site of the Parco Poesia Pascoli where Villa Torlonia is located: https://parcopoesiapascoli.it/
