ボルゴローゼのおすすめツーリングルート

Beautiful place with free guided tour. Call before visiting. A must if you are on the Cammino dei Briganti or nearby. For those who walk, there is also a fountain with water.

From this stage a long, bumpy climb awaits you towards the Velino pass.

Arriving from a tough climb at about 1250 meters below Mount Velino, a long descent full of pebbles awaits you, be careful. At the end you will find this magnificent restored church from 1200

For those who want to do the walk in 2 stages, I recommend staying overnight in Rosciolo

Very small village, surrounded by greenery and peace. Respect the place. Be careful, reaching it through Google Maps could lead you on a dirt road. Look for the paved road nearby.

Lago del Salto is a small but successive artificial lake near Rieti whose circumference is about 32 km of asphalted and mostly flat road. A wonderful route to do by bike, even with the family, taking into account both the low car traffic and the good condition of the road surface perfectly passable with MTB, GRAVEL, City Bike, Racing bike etc. and the beautiful naturalistic views of the lake and the mountains. Along the route there are several rest areas where you can rest and eat a sandwich, but there is also a bar with a beautiful view near the dam. Also along the route you will encounter the town of Fiumata, diametrically opposite the dam, and the town of Borgo San Pietro, halfway between Fiumata and the dam, this is the ideal starting point thanks to the large spaces available for parking cars, but above all for the numerous restaurants with a view of the lake, open all year round and offering excellent local dishes, ideal to enjoy especially after a nice ride like this. For those who want to make the undertaking more challenging there is the variant that passes through Varco Sabino and then through the town of Rigatti, the tour is extended by a total of 10 km, testing a truly challenging climb and descent. Definitely worth trying.

The place is easy to reach and quite quiet. Close to the center of the village, where you can find drinking water and a small grocery store. It is possible to camp wild. Often fishermen camp there. They say that on weekends there is a bit more chaos, but there are other possible places to camp wild.

The Church of Santa Maria in Valle Porclaneta dates back to the first half of the 11th century. A jewel on the slopes of Mount Velino towards the path that leads to Rosciolo dei Marsi. To visit it you need to contact Mrs. Agata. Inside it hides jewels such as the stone and stucco ambo with stories taken from the Bible created by Master Nicodemus, and the ciborium, also by Nicodemus, supported by four small columns and decorated with motifs influenced by Arab and Byzantine art. Even more unique is the wooden iconostasis, unique in the world for its workmanship and friezes.
