The Park's cycle way
Two itineraries between nature and agriculture
The cycle way consists of two complementary and linked itineraries. The first one can be covered by city bike too, it departs from the Collecchi train station and crosses the village, then it goes on along the old SS 62 of Cisa: leaving the village one turns right and takes Via Campirolo, an asphalted country road leading to the Corte di Giarola.

The Park's itineraries are ideal to be covered by mountain bike: they are made of gravel and are unpaved but with slight gradients, they are ideal for not expert bikers and for families as well.
It is important to follow the paths and the road signs, and visitor must avoid:
- crossing the cultivated fields
- going to the exposed gravel bed of the river during the nesting periods (spring-summer)
- getting too close to the riverbanks in the flood periods
