View of Bologna from Via Casaglia

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful climb that leads to the sanctuary of San Luca, less important than the climb from Zaragoza but challenging. The view is beautiful and can be enjoyed by climbing up to San Luca, or by continuing along the hills.

July 16, 2023,16luglio2023 parchi sopra saragozza/san mamolo/san luca II

this one is better than the other, mostly road, some dirt trails, but little stuff possibly short hand bike stretch. you go from villaspada, san pellegrino/300 steps/san luca/vittore/monte donato etc. Sunday morning few cars. perhaps too many cyclists who are a bit assholes/who get angry.

The main tour through the forest was relatively short and not exactly visually appealing, so we spontaneously took a detour to the pilgrimage church at the end. If I had known that the path was so steep, I might have refrained from doing it in the humidity. But it was worth it, it's a very beautiful church.

Bike ride with the "bianchina" no gravel ... @ little expense, a lot of yield 😉

Cycling from Monte Paderno towards Monte Donato, the landslide warning on Via del Poggio was removed, and the road was reopened. Too bad the landslide is still there, bordered by New Jersey on one side and the other. Inefficient administration ... :-(
