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.

Il percorso
Il percorso è un itinerario dedicato ai luoghi che ispirarono l'ambientazione delle opere di Beppe Fenoglio. Con un'e-bike in poco tempo si potrà facilmente pedalare tra le colline su strade secondarie e poco trafficate raggiungendo le tappe d'interesse culturale. Tutto il tempo guadagnato sarà occasione per scoprire angoli nascosti e nuovi panorami per poi immergersi nella lettura di un frammento delle opere fenogliane che hanno fatto la storia della letteratura italiana. Riscopri la vita contadina di Agostino tra le mura del tipico Pavaglione, o soffermati davanti le rocche dei sette fratelli ad udire sulle righe di Fenoglio, l'eco della resistenza vissuta dal Partigiano Johnny.
Questi sono solo alcuni degli assaggi di un'esperienza dedicata al centenario dalla nascita di Beppe Fenoglio.
COME FUNZIONA L'AUTOGUIDA
Segui l'itinerario lungo il tracciato e raggiungi le tappe contrassegnate dal tag verde. Facendo "tap" su di esse potrete accedere alla scheda dedicata al luogo fenogliano e assaporare, in autonomia o in compagnia, un breve testo ambientato in una delle opere di Fenoglio.

Questo tour tematico nasce da un iniziativa sviluppata in collaborazione con il Progetto "Leggere Ovunque - Biblioteca Diffusa" e il "Centro Studi Beppe Fenoglio".
I diritti sono concessi gratuitamente dagli eredi Fenoglio e tutte le opere sono edite da Einaudi.

Percorso ad anello per tutti alla ricerca di alcuni luoghi simbolo del Marchesato di Saluzzo. Saluzzo è il punto ideale per partire alla scoperta delle Terre del Monviso.
SE SIETE INTERESSATI A RICEVERE LE BICI A NOLEGGIO DIRETTAMENTE PRESSO LA STAZIONE DI SALUZZO VISITATE L'ESPERIENZA QUI.
Il marchesato di Saluzzo è molto antico e precede di gran lunga gli stati del rinascimento italiano, nasce infatti nel 1142 con il marchese di Saluzzo Manfredo I. Nei secoli sono cambiati i territori di competenza ma in linea di massima il marchesato di Saluzzo si identifica con le terre che stanno tra la Stura di Demonte e il Po, con le Alpi a fare da contrafforte.
Saluzzo, Staffarda e Revello sono tre luoghi simbolo del marchesato.
Saluzzo
Tra le tante scelte a Saluzzo potete trovare la Castiglia, la Chiesa di San Giovanni e Casa Cavassa. La Castiglia e l’antica residenza dei marchesi, oggi luogo museale e sede di mostre temporanee. La Chiesa di San Giovanni racchiude veri tesori d'arte, come le tre navate, l'abside con la cappella sepolcrale dei Marchesi, il chiostro quadrato, il refettorio e la sala capitolare. Casa Cavassa è stata dimora signorile dei Cavassa, vicari generali dei Marchesi, oggi museo civico con affreschi, quadri e arredi d'epoca (ospita la famosa pala d’altare della Madonna della Misericordia di Hans Clemer).
Staffarda
Staffarda è un’Abbazia Cistercense nata per concessione del Marchese di Saluzzo nel XII secolo. Importante sede religiosa e agricola, nasce su un terreno bonificato dai monaci e riveste da subito una centralità storica per il Marchesato. Oggi si può visitare nella sua completezza.
Revello
A Revello potrete invece trovare la Cappella Marchionale, residenza voluta nella seconda Metà del ‘400 dal Marchese Ludovico II (la cui tomba si trova proprio in San Giovanni a Saluzzo). La residenza fu poi utilizzata da Margherita di Foix, vedova di Ludovico II, nella prima metà del ‘500. La cappella Marchionale è completamente affrescata tra il 1480 e il 1512 da Hans Clemer e bottega. Oggi è visitabile, fa parte della sede del Comune di Revello.
Nel percorso ad anello potrete visitare molte altre realtà come il museo naturalistico del Fiume Po di Revello e il piccolo borgo di Castellar
Castellar
Partendo dalla stazione di Saluzzo è possibile raggiungere Castellar un piccolo borgo che vi accoglierà con il suo nobile castello. Per vederlo dovete raggiungere la cima della sua collina. Pedalando attraverserete un vero museo all'aria aperta...museo di reperti storici? di sculture? No, un museo di spaventapasseri! Vi assicuriamo che sono uno più bello dell'altro. Se capitate a Castellar nelle prime due domeniche di maggio potrete partecipare alla festa delle 'sentinelle dei campi' organizzata dall'Associazione Culturale Spaventapasseri.
Sulla mappa troverete tutti i punti di interesse geolocalizzati sul vostro percorso, buona gita cicloturistica!

SANTA SEVERA / BRACCIANO
In its sixteenth stage, the GTL once again leaves the sea to go inland, in the last stretch towards Rome, one of the most scenic: the Tolfa Mountains, the Sabatini Mountains and the area of the volcanic lakes north of Rome. Leaving Santa Severa and its castle, we take secondary roads in the countryside close to the Aurelia through the Macchiatonda Regional Nature Reserve, up to Cerveteri. Here it is certainly worth stopping for a visit to the splendid Etruscan necropolis of Banditaccia. From here we return to the coast to pass the seaside resorts of Ladispoli and Marina di San Nicola, connected to each other by a cycle path obtained from the route of the old railway line, near the imposing Odescalchi Castle. After San Nicola, the maritime landscape gradually gives way to barren hills first, and then to lush pine forests, until it climbs into the woods in the direction of Castel Giuliano, a few steps from the waterfalls of the same name and its ancient fortress. A little more climb near the Caldare di Manziana and its woods, and the vegetation becomes even thicker: we have reached what was the edge of the volcano, and we can look into the blue of its original crater, Lake Bracciano. The destination of this stage welcomes us in a spectacular way, with its tuff houses piled up and gathered around the imposing Odescalchi Castle.

A flat stage of sea and sand, which from the Pontine capital takes us to the places of the Odyssey, through history, nature and mythology. Mount Circeo, a promontory of incredible beauty stretching out towards the sea as if to testify to its past as an island, is according to tradition one of the landing places of Odysseus during his wanderings, the one where the Greek hero was welcomed by the sorceress Circe. The remains of a Roman temple on its summit were identified with his palace. The third stage of the GTL winds almost entirely along the route of Eurovelo 7, The Sun Route, or the long cycle path of the sun that takes us to the south of Europe A convenient cycle path from Latina takes us to the sea, near the first of the coastal lakes, that of Fogliano, where there is a WWF oasis that is a resting place for many water birds during their migrations. From here we continue through reclamation canals and coastal dunes to the promontory and the National Park, an incredible green lung of eucalyptus, maritime pines and Mediterranean scrub, within which the remains of the Villa of Domitian can still be visited. Skirting the coast to the south, we pass through the seaside resort of San Felice Circeo and its maritime caves, up to the stack of Terracina, a Greek and Roman colony, surmounted by the Temple of Jupiter Anxur. After Terracina, the last kilometers of the stage in the direction of Monte San Biagio try to avoid the Appian Way as much as possible, which after the ancient Papal Gate and the Pisco Montano narrows between the Ausoni and the sea, remaining on dirt roads and dirt roads around Lake Fogliano, in a semi-marshy panorama made up of migratory birds and coastal ponds.

THE UPPER SABINA
The eleventh stage of the GTL changes the landscape once again: we move away from the Apennines for the lower Sabine Mountains, heading west. But the lower altitudes should not deceive, since the slopes of these hills often prove to be more challenging and hard than the mountains proper, with their sudden and violent ups and downs. From Rieti we leave for the beautiful village of Contigliano, on little-frequented and lonely roads among olive trees and vineyards. We are a few steps from Greccio, a medieval town famous for its nativity scenes, certainly worthy of a detour. Hairpin bends, climbs and descents follow one another, giving villages resting on the "hillocks", the heights chosen for settlements since ancient times: Cottanello, Casperia, Cantalupo in Sabina. Only the end of the stage and the arrival in the Tiber valley offers a bit of descent and respite, up to the railway station of Stimigliano, the end of the stage – and a public velodrome, that of Forano.
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno
Variant from the main route to the Selvino plateau at an altitude of 900 metres. Here one can find an oasis of tranquillity full of initiatives especially for families, with an adventure park and a minimarcia, which is attended by thousands of people every year.
