델 살토 호수 최고의 사이클링 경로

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 passage over the dam is spectacular and the "jump" below is very impressive.

Panoramic bridge over the lake and the village of Fiumata.

Beautiful cove reminiscent of Nordic landscapes.

Pescorocchiano is a charming village. The name already recalls Abruzzo (Pescosansonesco, Pescasseroli, Pescara, etc...) and in fact it is located within the Cicolano valley which connects L'Aquila to Rieti. The term "pesco" is thought to derive from "pesclum", meaning a high and steep place. Looking at Pescorocchiano from afar you can easily understand why it was given this name!

The damming of the Salto river caused the formation of the homonymous lake which is today the largest artificial lake in Lazio. The beauty of the landscape and the peace that can be enjoyed from this position makes you completely forget the anthropic nature of the place. From this bridge you can admire one of the many inlets of the lake.
