ビテルボ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

The church of San Nicola is located in Capalbio, in the province of Grosseto, in the small square in front of the Aldobrandesca fortress, in the historic center of the village.

Gravel suitable for road bikes. It's worth it, because the road then becomes a good-quality paved section along the lake. Most paved secondary roads in Italy are in significantly worse condition than this gravel.

A very nice reserve with a walking path, free entrance

Beautiful reserve with wild and suggestive beaches.

The ancient Roman city of Cosa stands on a rocky promontory formed by two hills, separated by a vast saddle. Founded by the Romans in 273 BC. after the victory over the allied forces of the Etruscan cities of Volsinii and Vulci in 280 BC, it included a large part of the Vulci territory, including the coast. The Latin colony of Cosa thus controlled a large geographical area. The name derived from the older one of Cusi or Cusia, referring to a small Etruscan center located in present-day Orbetello. The strategic position and nature of a fortress, evident from the imposing walls, were necessary to face the threat of Carthaginian naval power and to maintain control over the newly conquered Etruscan territories. In the urban heart, a dense grid of streets intersect at right angles, defining rectangular blocks for settlers' homes and larger areas for public buildings. The city's port, Portus Cosanus, was built at the foot of the promontory, with a coastal lagoon behind it, today represented by Lake Burano. Between the 12th and 14th centuries, the region came under the alternating rule of the Aldobrandeschi, the Republic of Orvieto and finally the Republic of Siena, which destroyed it in 1329.

The Etruscan Tagliata is, in reality, a work of Roman engineering dating back to the Republican period. It is an artificial passage dug into the rock, designed to prevent the silting of the port of Cosa, through a system of counter-currents coming from the sea and the emissary canal of Lake Burano. This extraordinary achievement became necessary when the Spacco della Regina, a large natural fissure in the promontory above with the same function, became impassable due to a landslide. In the area, the sixteenth-century Tagliata tower is also noteworthy, which was the residence of Giacomo Puccini, a famous Italian composer.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. It will definitely be nicer. The gravel path, which is suitable for racing bikes but is borderline, is followed by asphalt paths directly by the lake, partly without any development until about 7 km before Bolsena. Everything can be ridden on a racing bike, although not too fast. The lap around the lake is not a racing tour if you want to get off the roads.

The ancient city of Cosa, a hidden jewel of Tuscany, is today an archaeological site where you can discover the history of the Etruscans in Italy. Walk the ancient streets that take you to the acropolis and the forum, silent witnesses of ancient religious and political life. A timeless charm, where the past meets the present in an endless embrace.
