This ebike tour in Ciociaria will allow you to discover, without too much effort, some traits of two among the most famous paths in all of Italy. It is part of Ceprano's rental point, where you can choose the electric bike best suited to you. After a few kilometers of pedalata you will enter a road, immersed in nature, which is part of the group of European cycling itineraries called EuroVelo. Along this route you will meet the Natural Monument Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, where we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the Grotts or simply refresh yourself to its exterior. The second part of the itinerary envisages, then, to reach and take part of another historic path, the Via Francigena. This, away from the main routes, will lead you to the country of Ceprano and finally back to the rental point.
Bike + Train : with an increasingly careful eye to sustainability in the tourism sphere, at the request will be possible to rent the ebike directly from Ceprano-Falvaterra railway station. You can, therefore, reach Ceprano by train (connected directly with Rome and Naples), rent the ebike and re-mark it back to the same station at the end of the experience.
EuroVelo 5
EuroVelo is a group of cycling routes that cross all of Europe. In particular we find ourselves along the stretch called EuroVelo 5, also called "Via Romea Francigena" 3,900 kilometres long, which, once finished, will unite London in Brindisi, passing through Milan, Rome and our Ciociaria. After leaving Ceprano's rental point you'll be pedaling yourself right on secondary roads, immersed in the tranquility, sounds and perfumes typical of the campaign that will enrich your experience along the whole adventure. After a few kilometers you'll reach the SP151, which is part of the aforementioned EuroVelo 5, along which you'll meet some of the local trattories and producers, the reported Fontana Water Bianca, where you can stop to drink and fill up your borracks and, with a small detour from the main route, the Grottoes of Falvaterra.
Grotte of Falvaterra and Rio Obaco
Soon after leaving SP151 you will reach the Natural Monument Grotte in Falvaterra and Rio Obaco, a veritable hidden gem in the heart of Ciociaria. Here we advise you to stop to visit the interior of the complex (in this case you will need to reach the ticket office first, report on the map) or simply to rest on its exterior, where the temperatures fall sharply and, especially in the warmer days, you can enjoy the fresh from the caves and the torrent limpid spilling out of it.
Via Francigena
Back in the saddle to your ebike, you will be walking a few kilometers until you reach the dam that will allow you to cross the Liri River and arrive at the Lake St. John Inload. In a short time you will find yourself along the Via Francigena (also reported by numerous road signs) that will take you to pedal first around the lake and then on a long white road that crosses the woods, away from paved roads and cars. Once you return to the main road, continuing to follow the road signs also, you will be returning to a secondary road that will allow you to reach another small lake, that of San Giacomo. Among the local inhabitants, this small water mirror is known for its particular connection with the Moon : as can be seen from satellite images, in fact, its particular form reminds precisely that of a crescent ; the numerous elevations and lowering of the water level during the course of the year remind those of the tides in the Earth-to-Earth interaction ; finally, the road leading from the country to the lake (in the path is the one you'll encounter by leaving it) is called its own Via Guardaluna.
By continuing the path we reach, finally, the municipality of Ceprano once again crossed the river thanks to the historic bridge which in the past divided the Papal State from the Kingdom of the South and which was mentioned in an episode of the Divine Comedy. Right after you arrive in Ceprano's main square where you can choose whether to stop to drink an aperitif or continue to re-enter the rental point, where you'll have a relaxation area, a relaxation area in the greenery of a plateau, the bar and restaurant Le Ganze where you can reinstate your energies, eating typical dishes of the laitier and ciociara cuisine.
This bike experience is perfect for unusually and sustainably discovering the beauties of the ciocious territory, immersing itself in its history, in its pristine nature and gusting its typical products.

The two routes, the Granfondo (135 km, elevation difference 2621 m) and the Mediofondo (83 km, elevation difference 1526 m), offer breathtaking views of our countryside, the ultimate iconic Italian landscape. Starting in Radda in Chianti, where cyclists can admire the old city walls, and ending in Greve in Chianti, the birthplace of explorer and navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano, the route breezes by vineyards in the sunny Golden Basin of Panzano in Chianti, cuts through San Casciano and then dips down towards Castellina in Chianti, chosen by Michelangelo Buonarroti as his personal retreat. The long route meanders through the southernmost part of the territory, among lush vineyards and breathtaking hills, like the ones of San Regolo and Castagnoli. Both routes descend and rise several times, but don’t include highly technical incline climbs, allowing participants to enjoy the amazing landscape in its most glorious moment – the end of summer.
