Botteghino di Zocca

Highlight • Cafe

The small village of Botteghino di Zocca in the Zena valley is an obligatory coffee stop for many Bolognese cyclists. From here many routes start for Zena, Monte delle Formiche, Quinzano, and for the sculpture of the great whale of Gorgognano. In 1965, a farmer discovered the remains of a 2-million-year-old whale.
