パニのおすすめツーリングルート

Monteleone di Puglia, the highest municipality in the region at 842 meters above sea level, offers one of the most picturesque viewpoints in the Daunia region. The village is intimate and welcoming, with cobbled alleys, small squares, and views overlooking cultivated hills and winding ridges. Strolling through the center, you'll find fountains, arches, and panoramic views that invite you to pause for a moment.

Savignano Irpino dominates the Cervaro Valley from a rocky spur, with a compact historic center and sweeping views of the hills that mark the border between Campania and Puglia. The climb to reach it is arduous, but the arrival is rewarded with evocative views, stone alleys, and the silhouette of the aqueduct bridge, one of the village's symbols.

The road is closed due to a collapsed bridge, which gives the impression it won't be repaired anytime soon. There's an alternative route for bikes on a dirt road that's difficult to navigate (see my route).

Places of other times

the highest town in Puglia is not far from the province of Avellino and Campania

Rione Fossi is a district of Accadia which was abandoned in 1930 due to a strong earthquake. It was the original nucleus of the town, founded by the Lombards and enriched by Roman temples and palaces. Today it is a ghost town, a suggestive and timeless place, where you can see the houses and streets carved into the rock, the Byzantine church of Saints Peter and Paul and the remains of the castle and the ducal palace.

Sant'Agata di Puglia is a village perched on a hill at the southern limits of the Monti Dauni. It is nicknamed the "Loggia delle Puglie" because it offers a panoramic view of the Tavoliere and up to Monte Vulture in Basilicata. The castle on the top dominates the town, and to reach it you need to take a walk through the alleys paved with cobblestones, not really suitable for racing bikes.

Bovino in the province of Foggia is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The historic center is very characteristic, with narrow alleys and stone houses, and its most important monument is the Cathedral, which mixes different styles and has a wooden choir with mysterious symbols.
