스타테 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Starting point for hikes in the Pianelle forest. There's a small bar. There's a sign near the fountain: non-potable water. But we always drank it.

The climb leading to the structure is quite steep, long and tiring

nice place you can see Taranto

Built in 1938 and erected in 1958, the Parish of San Michele Arcangelo is located in the small village of San Simone (Crispiano-TA). Behind it we find the chapel dedicated to Maria SS.ma del Carmelo built in 1649, as can be seen from the date engraved on the entrance architrave, together with the coat of arms IHS, Iesus Hominum Salvator, Jesus Savior of men. In ancient times it was dedicated to San Filippo Neri, depicted in the apse of the same chapel, next to the Virgin, to the right of the observer, because the entire farmhouse belonged to the homonymous farm, bordering the church. This farm was later called San Simini and still retains this name today. Due to its position in relation to the cow cart, the chapel suggests that in its time it served as a stop and reference point in the transhumance from the Murge towards Salento. The chapel consists of a single small room with barrel vaults and inside there are frescoes: the Virgin of Carmel with Child, on the left St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Michael the Archangel and St. Martin of Tours, on the right St. Philip Neri and St. Simon the Apostle. Above the entrance door stands a beautiful bell tower with a 19th-century bell.

Nice place for those who love enduro

It is better to take the path on the Paolo VI bank because on the Taranto side the vegetation is very thick in some places and it is impossible to pass.

Rocky path down but not too dificult

Nice path through the woods, an joy to ride
