Embark on a touring bicycle adventure through "The city of Matera and its sassi — ring tour," a moderate ride spanning 13.2 miles (21.3 km) with an elevation gain of 1278 feet (390 metres). This route, typically completed in about 1 hour and 35 minutes, guides you through Matera's ancient Sassi cave dwellings and the scenic Murgia Materana Park. You will mostly ride on paved surfaces, but expect some unpaved segments and rolling hills as you explore the unique limestone landscapes and rural areas dotted with wheat fields and olive groves. The trail offers spectacular panoramic views of the Sassi, especially from viewpoints like the Murgia Timone belvedere, where you can see the distinct Sasso Barisano and Caveoso districts. This journey provides a rich blend of historical exploration and natural beauty, making for a memorable cycling experience.
To best enjoy this moderate touring bicycle route, ensure you have a good fitness level, as the rolling hills and occasional unpaved sections can be challenging. The starting point of the route is often easily accessible by public transport, and Matera offers various bike hotels that cater specifically to cycle tourists. If you prefer a less strenuous ride across the Murgia hills, consider opting for an e-bike, which can make the elevation gain more manageable. Plan your visit to allow ample time to soak in the views and perhaps explore some of the rock-hewn churches found along the way.
This ring tour offers a deep dive into a UNESCO World Heritage site, as Matera's Sassi are among the oldest continuously inhabited human settlements in the world, with a history spanning over 8,000 years. Beyond the city, the Murgia Materana Park is a natural wonder, featuring dramatic gorges, ancient rock churches carved into the stone, and a unique ecosystem. Cycling this route provides a profound cultural experience, allowing you to witness firsthand how humans adapted to and shaped this extraordinary natural environment over millennia. It is a truly unique way to connect with history and nature in southern Italy.
