Towards the Rocca delle Caminate on an MTB
La Romagna dello SpungoneItinerary: Predappio, Trivella, Fiumana, Predappio
This itinerary will enable you to discover the hills around Predappio, a corner of Romagna where Sangiovese wine boasts a very ancient history already mentioned in a statute of 1383 which regulated civil life and grape-growing. Easy and suitable for all lovers of pleasant rides through the countryside, this loop tour winds along pleasant dirt roads, but with a number of climbs that should not be underestimated. Nothing new: riding in the Romagna countryside is fairly hard work, but also very rewarding. One of the most suggestive highlights of this itinerary recommended for MTB and gravel bikes is certainly the Rocca delle Caminate, an 11th century castle situated on a hill in the municipality of Meldola.
