Embark on a challenging touring bicycle adventure from Marcellinara to Taverna, traversing the Pentone pass at the foot of the Sila National Park. This difficult 55.8-mile (89.8 km) route demands very good fitness, featuring a significant elevation gain of 7743 feet (2360 metres) and taking around 6 hours and 53 minutes to complete. As you cycle, you will pass through diverse landscapes, including extensive woodlands of beech, white fir, and black pines, rolling hills, and deep valleys, with picturesque views of artificial lakes like Cecita and Arvo. The trail offers an immersive experience in a wild, sparsely inhabited area, often called the "Great Forest of Italy." You will find the surfaces mostly paved, making for a smooth yet demanding ride.
This route is part of the broader "Parchi Calabria" cycle path, connecting the region's main parks. While the trail is challenging, the destination town of Taverna offers practical amenities for cyclists, including an electric bicycle charging station and tools for bike maintenance. Consider starting your ride early to make the most of the daylight, especially given the trail's duration and difficulty. Always ensure you are well-prepared with sufficient water and supplies for this demanding journey.
The trail's connection to the Sila National Park is a major highlight. The Sila region is a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasting nine biogenetic nature reserves and a vast plateau situated above 1,000 meters above sea level. The town of Taverna itself holds cultural significance as the birthplace of the renowned seventeenth-century painter Mattia Preti; you can explore his works in local churches and the civic museum. This journey offers a unique blend of natural beauty, challenging cycling, and cultural discovery.
