ネスポロのおすすめツーリングルート

Very beautiful country, full of murals

Beautiful road. No need to carry the bike by hand anymore as a gap has been created in the landslide. The steeper sections are paved.

It is located just before the bridge that crosses the lake and leads to Castel di Tora

San ROCCO was chosen as the patron saint for this church and the corresponding parish. Saint Roch was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of Roch's depiction in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of San Rocco in the calendar of saints is August 16th.

The starting point is also a good place to park

Going down via Roma you reach the Velino bridge, known however by the same name as the one demolished in the thirties and placed, a little below, on the river bed: Roman bridge.

From Tagliacozzo you go up for about ten kilometers to reach the pass that leads to Carsoli.

There is a track that descends steeply from the town to the bottom of the valley to avoid the main road... to be avoided if you are carrying luggage.
