English: a 40 km tour all on the road that runs along the Salto Lake in the province of Rieti, the tour is about 30 km almost completely flat so easy for everyone even for children. The beauty of this tour is not doing it all in one go, but enjoying it calmly perhaps with the family, stopping to take photos of the lake that at every bend shows spectacular and unique views. impressive is the large Salto dam, a work of almost 100 years ago still in operation. the road is very little traffic so it is safe to travel, obviously having at least the red light on the back is absolutely recommended. along the route there are several refreshment points, starting from Borgo San Pietro, a recommended starting point because at the end of the tour you can enjoy the dishes of the excellent local cuisine, then near the dam a small kiosk bar with a splendid view, after the dam another farmhouse where you can stop then you arrive in Fiumata, a town at the opposite end to the

I continue with the comment: so I was saying, Fiumata is diametrically opposite to the Dam, from this last refreshment point equipped with barxexristora you return to Borgo San Pietro and conclude the tour, refreshing yourself and tasting one of the many dishes of the local cuisine. A beautiful and fun tour, but also challenging if you decide to deviate towards Varco Sabino and then Rigatti before returning to the lakeside, extending the route by about 10 km. 100% recommended
