Val di Zena is the training ground for eastern Bolognese cyclists. It offers paved paths and beautiful gravel roads or paths that lead to the top of ridges with breathtaking views. From the ridges you reach the Val delle Idice with various dirt descents. The "seven traverse" - gravel road that starts from the Val di Zena - takes you to the ridges. Going down the Idice valley, take the Vignale route, an ancient military path, challenging for the muscles, but satisfying for the ebike
