San Luca can be seen from all directions.. so we Bolognese seeing it from afar when we return think.. we have arrived home! 🔴🔵

Good morning, wonderful road at the gates of Bologna completely passable after the floods of the last two years. The landscape has changed a lot after these events and is in some ways even wilder. Highly recommended to reach Quinzano (from Bologna 400 meters of altitude difference for about 40 km!) passing through hills, sheer cliffs covered with Mediterranean vegetation and the characteristic mountains of Formiche and Bibele. Passing near the latter you will find on the left the mixed Etruscan-Gallic village of great historical and archaeological importance and on the right in the valley bottom the Zena waterfalls which after two years of very intense rains are particularly suggestive

Short tour a stone's throw from the center of Bologna, on panoramic and little-trafficked hilly roads. Short but sometimes quite challenging climbs, no flat areas.

Once you reach the sanctuary of San Luca from the classic and more difficult side, the one with the famous Curva delle Orfanelle that begins under the Arco del Meloncello, after a few hundred meters a wonderful glimpse opens up towards the sanctuary. It is a fascinating panoramic point, but pay attention to the narrow road.

a climb to tackle at least once

Bologna...... It is inevitable to walk in the center without being captured by the sight of the donkey towers. Today under maintenance.

The small village of Botteghino di Zocca in the Zena valley is an obligatory coffee stop for many Bolognese cyclists. From here many routes start for Zena, Monte delle Formiche, Quinzano, and for the sculpture of the great whale of Gorgognano. In 1965, a farmer discovered the remains of a 2-million-year-old whale.

well serviced park, great for a few hours out of the noise of the city
