In the magical green Umbria, Assisi is also an unmissable destination for cyclists, full of history and spirituality, which can be touched and breathed everywhere. It can be reached with a not very long and pedalable climb, even if not trivial.

The Umbrian city of Assisi is best known for San Francesco (Saint Francis) and is often visited because of him, but no less important is Saint Clara (Santa Chiara), who joined him and founded the branch of the "Clarissinas" within the Franciscan religious family .
Both of their churches of the Holy Sepulcher are located there, in the city in which they lived and worked:
=> Santa Chiara: komoot.de/highlight/361280
=> San Francesco: komoot.de/highlight/138624
