포레스타 델라 발레 베네데타 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

Wonderful pine forest with beautiful views of the sea....

Route with beautiful views of the coast, there is a main road section of about 7 km without a cycle path where you have to be a bit careful with the bike.

Little-traveled road to reach the Livorno hills.

At several points on the cycle path, me

There is no good way next to the beach, but luckily there is this great, shady trail through a monoculture of pine trees! The short bit of cycling lane I excluded was due to a stretch along the sand over a beach.

A long but doable climb that takes you to Montenero, Ciano monument and other parts. Very beautiful views

Certainly, to go from Livorno to Quercianella, the route that goes up to Castellaccio, above Montenero [along via del Castellaccio and della Porcigliana], and then descends [along via di Quercianella] towards Romito on the Aurelia, is better than the one along the coastal road, a little shorter, yes, but congested, especially in summer. At Castellaccio the highest point is almost 300 m. above sea level and allows you to enjoy a fantastic view of the reliefs below and the sea, with the island of Capraia in the background (and Corsica clearly visible on clear days). The road, being hilly, has many curves with some fairly steep sections, but it is infinitely less busy than the coastal road and is immersed in Mediterranean vegetation (pines, holm oaks, juniper, broom, heather, myrtle, strawberry tree, mastic tree...) offering truly suggestive landscape views.

Chioma is a small tourist center (less than 100 residents) at the mouth of the stream of the same name, which forms the border between the municipalities of Livorno and Rosignano Marittimo. It is frequented especially in the summer thanks to the tourist infrastructure it has (beach resort with bar and restaurant, tourist port with moorings and fuel station, sailing, surfing and kayaking schools) and its natural beauty: inside, the suggestive valley of the Chioma stream is immersed in a green environment with woods and meadows interspersed with some farms and a few other human settlements, today less frequent than in the past (as demonstrated by the ruins of farmhouses scattered here and there) and is a destination for hikers and mountain bikers, while the coast offers a crystalline sea with a color that changes from green to blue and beaches characterized by rocks and gravel mixed with pebbles. Chioma is connected via the "old Aurelia" (formerly SS 1) to Quercianella and the capital Livorno, in a northerly direction and to Castiglioncello, Rosignano, Cecina... via both the old and the new Aurelia (SS 1) in a southerly direction. Right at the height of the Chioma bridge, via del Vaiolo branches off [https://www.komoot.com/it-it/highlight/917856], a pleasant, shaded and little-trafficked hill road that climbs up to Nibbiaia, then connecting to the ridge road to Rosignano Marittimo. For the frequent cyclists who travel it, it is an interesting and pleasant alternative (even if at times challenging) to the busy coastal road
