モンテロトンドのおすすめツーリングルート

It almost doesn't feel like you're in Rome; it could use a little more maintenance from the City of Rome. But it's worth a visit.

It's a beautiful and varied trail... but watch out for wild boars! And then... why doesn't Roma Natura clean up the illegal landfills? It's true that people are uncivilized, but the institutions must clean up, otherwise the degradation will worsen.

😋 Better to avoid it even in light rain, bike buried in mud (RR Explore 520 mountain bike), punctured three times (front and back one time, front another, although I'm not absolutely sure it happened here, thorns in one case) so either have good tires, latex tires, or have inner tube kits. I managed to get home in spite of the bad luck, no car 😋

highly recommended as a transit point, connects Torraccia with Nomentana

Very nice with some roads without traffic

Mentana, 20 km from Rome, is a village in the Roman Sabina area known for its Sabina DOP extra virgin olive oil and the Macchia di Gattaceca Nature Reserve. The meeting between Charlemagne and Pope Leo III and the Battle of Mentana in 1867, led by Garibaldi, took place here. The village preserves historical monuments such as the Baronial Palace and the Capuchin Convent. The MuGa – Garibaldino Museum commemorates the heroes of the Risorgimento. Mentana is also famous for festivals dedicated to culinary specialties such as ciammella a cancellu and maccheroni a centonara, and for traditional celebrations such as that of Sant'Antonio Abate.

The nature reserve extends over about a thousand hectares between the Tiber Valley and the Cornicolani Mountains, in the Roman Sabina. The landscape is hilly, with pasture areas, crops and fragments of woods, remnants of the original forests. The area is known for its botanical value and for karst phenomena such as caves and sinkholes, including the Pozzo del Merro, one of the deepest in the world. The reserve also preserves historical evidence, from prehistory to the Middle Ages.

Here you enter the Nazzano, Tevere-Farfa Regional Nature Reserve where it is possible to discover a particularly valuable naturalistic environment.
