Full description

Did you know that as many as 160 km of trails branch off in theBolognese Apennines?

If you too would like to explore them all, why not start with our e-MTB tour! Climb into the saddle and, in the company of an environmental excursion guide, venture along a wooded trail to discover the area's natural and historical attractions.

Pedal 25/30 km through the scenery of the Second World War and the Great Countess of Canossa, for a total experience of 3 ½ hours.

What we will do

I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Castel D'Aiano (BO), the highest municipality in theBolognese Apennines. You will recognise me, I will be riding my e-MTB!

Once the bike has been handed over to all participants, in a briefing I'll explain how to use the pedal-assisted mountain bike: how to brake downhill and how to tackle uphill, depending on the terrain on which we'll be pedalling. We will take purely unpaved routes, through chestnut and oak woods, for a total immersion in the nature of theBolognese Apennines.

We will pedal to discover natural and historical attractions: trenches from World War II along the Gothic Line, mills from the last century used by the mountain inhabitants, tower-houses that have survived to the present day, and the legendary Canossa Castle. During the hike there will be 1 stop to recharge your batteries before the next stage.

Once back at the meeting point, we will have covered 25/30 km with a maximum altitude difference of 500 m; the itinerary may be modified according to the level of the participants. The experience has a total duration of 3 ½ hours.
