From the woods to the beach passing through small characteristic villages where you can taste the delicacies of the local food and wine. Precisely the welcome is the added value of the Abruzzo cycle path which is among the most exciting in Italy.
The Abruzzo cycle route
The Abruzzo section, a mainly coastal route, is mostly built on disused railway tracks; it is part of the great national context of the Adriatic cycle path. An itinerary with which in 2020 the Abruzzo Region won theItalian Green Road Award, the Oscar of cycling tourism. The route is in fact suitable for cycle tourism and day trips. It can be practiced in all seasons, without particular difficulties through undemanding dirt roads, pine forests that offer refreshment, splendid coasts and glimpses of extraordinary beauty along the Costa dei overflow. Abruzzo, therefore, is increasingly 'bike friendly' through the creation of a network of tourist structures which can be easily identified on the website of the Tourism Department of the Abruzzo Region.
The cycle path can be traveled in bike but also on foot, for trekking enthusiasts or for those who simply want to move freely and immerse themselves in the wonderful nature of Abruzzo. On one side woods and hills and on the other the Adriatic Sea. The starting point is Martinsicuro from where begins a long and captivating dedicated journey, ideal for those who love unspoiled nature and for those who care about the health of the body and also of the mind.
