カラブリアでののおすすめグラベルライド

One of the most beautiful murals along the climb up to the village

clean path in fresh woods, along the river

Beautiful view from below of the village from the cycle path

It can be seen by passing by on the cycle path

Unfortunately not well maintained, given the beautiful cycle path

A nicely laid out route, but with some shortcomings: 1. Very uneven surface. With luggage or a racing bike, it's much easier to ride on the road; unfortunately, you get a lot of jolts here. 2. The narrow path makes visibility difficult in many places, and you share the path with oncoming cyclists and pedestrians—which can make it dangerous. 3. Furthermore, there are small, unmarked bollards in the middle of the path in many places. These are particularly dangerous with panniers on your bike.

Splendid place immersed in the Lucanian Appennine Park Val d'Agri Lagonegrese which offers many possibilities for refreshment and overnight stay in the surrounding facilities.

On the Passo del Mercante, my father told me, that my grandfather met my grandmother. My grandfather was a young woodcutter who climbed the pass from Cittanova; and my grandmother was a shepherdess from Canalo Vecchio. They met by chance, and immediately argued: it seems that she didn't like the woodcutters, because they were too noisy and scared the cattle... But my grandfather, evidently made the difference, "maybe he was cute and she was very beautiful" and after the argument they made peace and fell in love.... Every time I'm in the area, I always go to the Pass to greet the memory of my grandfather 👴 and my grandmother👵 😊👋👋
