(...continued) Only downstream from the point where the road used by local vehicles diverges from the streambed is the latter periodically left to the sole maintenance work of passing flocks and livestock. This isn't a problem if you're traveling on foot, but on a mountain bike, it's even more advisable to tackle the downhill section, as the very slight incline will greatly facilitate progression, saving effort for the more experienced or avoiding annoying interruptions for the less experienced. It should be noted that, for the easiest and most well-trodden section alone, the more or less soft gravel surface extends for more than six kilometers, and can be a real test for those unable to maintain the momentum of a pace capable of overcoming resistance and swerving. However, there is the option of descending on a dirt road from Ischitella, traversing the most interesting segment of the canyon, and then escaping along the comfortable concrete road that exits the valley.

Cycling along the Rio Romandato's "sciumara" is extraordinary! This term refers to the bed of a karst stream, almost always dry due to the presence of countless cavities scattered throughout the subsurface where small and medium-sized rainfall finds its outlet, but subject to rare but powerful floods during particularly intense and prolonged storms. The navigability of these "sciumare" by bicycle cannot therefore be guaranteed, as it remains dependent on the rainfall patterns that periodically disturb the gravel on the riverbed. However, there are sections more frequently used by the vehicles of local shepherds and farmers, who promptly restore and keep them accessible, just as in this section carved into the rock like a canyon.

A beautiful walk in the Umbra forest in the Gargano region that starts from Laghetto d'Umbra near Caserma dei Carabienieri Forestali and follows the path to Caserma Murgia. From here you can deviate a bit to visit the ruins and then return along the path to Lago d'Otri, a small lake in the Gargano forest.
