Arno Cycle Path: Camaioni to Montelupo

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

April 2025: after the Arno flood the track is damaged in a section. However, you can pass. Pay attention to the sand deposits because it is easy to fall. It is recommended to get off your bike.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Montelupo you can see Capraia, Christ makes couples and then pairs them up! This Tuscan saying highlights the two villages overlooking the Arno, Montelupo and Capraia Fiorentina.

Upper Via Turbone Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice path in the woods. I recommend walking it in the dry season. The route crosses the stream several times so the height of the stream water must be considered.

In the stretch where the Garmin accidentally paused, I continued along via Montelupo and then turned right onto via Barrucciano up to the Anselmi area where the provincial road is and where the track recording resumes.
