펄로 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Castelvecchio Castle in Rocca Barbena dominates the medieval village of the same name, perched on a rocky spur in the Savona hinterland. A former stronghold of the Del Carretto marquises, it was built for military and defensive purposes, and its strategic location made it the fulcrum of feudal power over the valley below. Today, the imposing manor is reduced to a fascinating ruin, its ruins revealing centuries of history. Although no longer intact, the atmosphere surrounding it is highly evocative. Its crumbling walls and towers have become the symbol of the village, a true testament to its glorious past.

A small park centered around a giant bench and a heart-shaped sculpture. Picnic tables and a recently built café with restrooms are available. Unfortunately, there's no water fountain, but given the location, that's understandable. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills.

Artificial lake. At the bottom there are still remains of an old village that emerge in times of great drought or when the lake is emptied for maintenance. Used for water sports, kite surfing, canoeing, and for a triathlon competition.

Shuttles will go here if needed. Simply book a DIN ticket and say you'd like to go to the Forte.

In these areas there are many roads for mountain biking.

Great for a break and a view. Open only in summer.

A lovely place to linger.

It's true, we're talking about cycle tourism here... but it's worth spending some time visiting this beautiful village, or even just stopping to take a look, the view is superb! I rode the road downhill, but even uphill it must be a wonderful experience, given the slopes you encounter, never excessive and regular. The only flaw, the road in the valley, at least up to the detour to Castelvecchio, is always quite busy, even with heavy vehicles, so you need to be careful... even downhill!
