ポッツオーリのおすすめライド

The name Avernus derives from the Greek άορνος (without birds), in fact it is said that this absence was due to the fact that the waters of the lake exhaled particular gases that did not allow the birds to live. According to the Greek and then Roman religion, it was an access to the Underworld, kingdom of the god Pluto: for this reason, the Roman underworld (the Greek Hades) is also called Avernus and it is no coincidence that mythology recognizes it as the gateway to the afterlife. , as well as the earthly abode of the fallen angel Lucifer. Lake Averno lies within an extinct volcanic crater, born 4,000 years ago.

Great coastal view from this road hugging the cliffs

A beautiful place overlooking the sea away from the city

This is perhaps the widest cycle lane in the whole of Napoli where bikes come out nowhere. This is where the journey begins

Nice walk to do on foot, running or by bike. The route is mainly slippery / terrain, sometimes asphalt. The path runs along the lake where there are ducks and ducks who approach you without fear, perhaps looking for a piece of bread. There are benches scattered along the way. The tour is not very long, especially in Mtb, but it is worth turning around. Outside the lake there are asphalted roads that also run along the second lake, namely Lake Lucrino. With a bike you can ride along the two lakes and if you are fit you can reach the Bay after a climb and see the sea.

Perhaps the only cycle lane in Naples and it is picturesque too!
