July 20, 2024,Tenero – Romanische Brücke - Capela Rota - Minusio - Tenero 🚴🤗

Nice round trip 🤗.
We only had to push the bike back to the road in the area of the Roman bridge and Capela Rota. This part is not suitable for bikes 😅. But if you love your bike, you can push it 😂. Everything else was better by bike than by foot 😊
