산 바실리 최고의 사이클링 경로

Beautiful view from below of the village from the cycle path

Morano Calabro hosts a live nativity scene every year, where locals reenact scenes from Bethlehem against the backdrop of old streets and squares. You can see shepherds, craftsmen and even real animals, all prepared with great care and dedication. This is a local event that is put into the heart and is worth seeing if you are in the area in winter.

Morano Calabro is called "Presepe del Pollino" - the Nativity Scene of the Pollino Mountains. This comparison is a direct result of its unique location and appearance, especially when viewed from a distance or from the lower parts of the valley. The town is built on a very steep hillside, and the houses are densely packed one on top of the other, towering upwards. The entire town, with the ruins of the castle at the top, takes the shape of an almost perfect cone. This gives it a three-dimensionality and a specific silhouette that resembles traditional, three-dimensional nativity scenes.

Morano Calabro is one of the most beautiful and picturesque towns of Calabria, located in the north of the region, in the province of Cosenza, at the foot of the Pollino massif, in the heart of the Parco Nazionale del Pollino, the largest national park in Italy. The town has only a few thousand inhabitants, but it has an extraordinary historical and visual heritage that makes it unique. The history of the town dates back to Roman times (2nd century BC).

It can be seen by passing by on the cycle path

Unfortunately not well maintained, given the beautiful cycle path

A nicely laid out route, but with some shortcomings: 1. Very uneven surface. With luggage or a racing bike, it's much easier to ride on the road; unfortunately, you get a lot of jolts here. 2. The narrow path makes visibility difficult in many places, and you share the path with oncoming cyclists and pedestrians—which can make it dangerous. 3. Furthermore, there are small, unmarked bollards in the middle of the path in many places. These are particularly dangerous with panniers on your bike.
