Tipi Percorsi
Questo tour in ebike vi permette di scoprire, senza troppa fatica, le campagne della zona.
Si tratta di un percorso che parte e termina da Roselle e passa anche da Batignano per arrivare alla Città Etrusca.
Si parte da Roselle, dal punto di noleggio di bici elettriche BikeSquare; ci si dirige attraverso la ciclabile verso Nomadelfia e andando verso Batignano ci si può fermare per ammirare il panorama che affaccia verso Grosseto.
Che cosa vedere a Nomadelfia
A Nomadelfia vale la pena farci un salto e girare liberamente tra le vie della comunità, per osservare il loro stile di vita.
La comunità di Nomadelfia nacque da un’idea di don Zeno Saltini che si impegnò, negli anni della seconda guerra mondiale, a dare una casa ai numerosi bambini che gli orrori della guerra rendeva orfani. Non quindi un orfanotrofio classico, bensì una sorta di famiglia allargata. Da allora quel senso di solidarietà è cresciuto mantenendo in vita una comunità che rappresenta un modello di virtù per molti credenti.
Da Nomadelfia, arriviamo a Batignano passando dalla diga.
Che cosa vedere Batignano
Batignano è un caratteristico borgo che conserva resti della cinta muraria, con torri e porte, e un cassero, oltre ad un loggiato a tre arcate, costruito con materiali di reimpiego, probabilmente provenienti da Roselle; tutto ciò conferisce al paese un certo tono di antichità. Da segnalare, anche, la presenza di una pieve e di un antico convento, oramai sconsacrato, situato fuori dall'abitato.
Il ritorno Batignano, Città Etrusca, Roselle
Tornando indietro da Batignano, passiamo da una strada alberata molto caratteristica per arrivare alla Città Etrusca.
L'antica città etrusca di Roselle sorgeva su un’altura che consentiva il controllo dell’intera piana di Grosseto. Visitando il sito la prima cosa che colpisce è l’imponente cinta muraria che fu costruita dagli Etruschi, è possibile vedere anche i resti del quartiere artigianale etrusco ed all’esterno del perimetro murario si trova poi la necropoli con tombe a camera, a pozzetto e a fossa.
Tornando verso Roselle percorrendo la ciclabile e attraversando il paese si possono osservare Le Terme di Roselle, una stazione termale non funzionante del comune di Grosseto. Si tratta del più antico stabilimento termale della Maremma che risale all'epoca romana quando Roselle era un importante città dell'Impero con tanto di foro, anfiteatro e basilica.

From Novello you take the Ravera road that offers one of the most beautiful views in the area.
Stage 2 - Monforte
Monforte is pretty on the plain, but it is worth the climb to the top of the village where there is the amphitheater and the giant bench. I assure you that the view is worth the effort of the climb.
From Monforte take the Bussia road, a semi-flat, even shady road where you can even find some olive trees.
Stage 3 - Perno
Perno is a hamlet of Monforte (not to be confused with Sommariva Perno, which is elsewhere), very pretty. A minor place with nice restaurants and a spectacular view of the Langhe. Arriving in Perno you see on the left a small church among the vineyards that has great charm

The Bicycle Route Between Calanchi and Balze
The bicycle route between Balze and Calanchi passes through places where nature and history intertwine in a circular path accessible to everyone thanks to e-bikes. This itinerary takes us to discover a unique scenario, characterized by spectacular geological formations, medieval monasteries suspended between heaven and earth, and gastronomic delicacies that tell the essence of this territory.
The e-bike itinerary develops in a loop, making the experience accessible even to those who are less trained. The electric bicycle represents the ideal means to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding landscape, allowing you to appreciate every detail of these lands shaped by time and the elements. The route winds through a succession of breathtaking panoramas, alternating white roads with more adventurous paths, always accompanied by the majesty of the Balze and calanchi that dominate the horizon.
The Balze: Witnesses of an Ancient Geological History
Along the bike path, you observe the Balze which reveal themselves in all their grandeur. These steep slopes with their characteristic golden color represent a natural spectacle of rare beauty and a geological phenomenon of considerable scientific interest. Composed of sand and calcareous sandstone rocks, the Balze are the result of a grand erosive process still in progress, which continues to shape the sediments left by an ancient sea dating back 2.5 million years.
The particular conformation of these geological formations creates plays of light and shadow that reach their peak during the twilight hours, when the setting sun's rays enhance their golden tones, offering a visual spectacle of extraordinary beauty. Pedaling along the route, you will find yourself immersed in an almost lunar landscape, where time seems to have stopped, allowing you to virtually travel back millions of years.
The Calanchi: Natural Sculptures with Wild Charm
In stark contrast to the golden Balze, the calanchi represent another fascinating chapter of this cycling adventure. Characterized by steep southern slopes with pointed crests that shine white under the sun, the calanchi offer a scenario of wild beauty. These clay formations, shaped by the erosion of rainwater, create a surreal landscape that extends as far as the eye can see toward the sea.
The electric bicycle proves to be the perfect means to explore these areas, allowing you to reach panoramic points otherwise inaccessible, from which to admire the breadth and majesty of these natural formations. The gentler slopes, less subject to erosion, host lush cereal crops, creating an evocative chromatic contrast with the white calanchi surrounding them.
The Badia: A Millennium of History Suspended Between Heaven and Earth
A culminating point of the bike tour is represented by the visit to the imposing Badia, a Camaldolese monastery from the medieval era that seems to defy the laws of nature. Perched on the edge of a precipice, this extraordinary building has resisted for about a millennium the inexorable advance of the Balze chasm, creating an image of rare suggestion.
The contrast between man's work and the force of nature reaches its symbolic apex here: the millennial solidity of the monastic structure seems to engage in a silent battle against the unstoppable erosive process that continues to shape the surrounding landscape. The Badia not only represents a monument of exceptional architectural value, but also embodies a place rich in fascination and mystery, where medieval spirituality merges with the dramatic nature of the natural landscape.
San Cipriano: A Window on the Calanchi
The bike path reaches, via a white road, a privileged observation point near the small church of San Cipriano. From this strategic position, you can admire in all its extension the characteristic calanchi landscape of Volterra, distinguished by formations of considerable size, both in length and height.
This natural belvedere offers the opportunity to take memorable photographs and enjoy a moment of contemplation in front of a scenario that seems to have come out of a painting. The small church, with its architectural simplicity, integrates perfectly into the surrounding landscape, adding a further element of cultural interest to the experience.
The Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP: A Gastronomic Treasure
The e-bike tour crosses a hilly territory rich not only in natural and historical beauties, but also in gastronomic excellences. In these hills, the prestigious Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane DOP is produced, a typical cheese that encapsulates the essence of this unique land.
The peculiarity of this cheese lies in the use of vegetable rennet extracted from the wild thistle, a plant that grows spontaneously in local pastures. This production technique, handed down from generation to generation, gives the pecorino a distinctive and unmistakable flavor, which tells the story and traditions of these hills. During the route, there will be opportunities to stop at small farms to taste this product of excellence, accompanied by other local typical products.
Art that Dialogues with the Landscape: The Sculptures of Mauro Staccioli
On the bike following the dirt path called "Itinerary of Balze and Calanchi," the tour leads to the discovery of environmental sculptures created by the artist Mauro Staccioli. These extraordinary works of land art represent a profound dialogue between human creativity and the natural environment, interpreting the essence of the "places of experience" so dear to the artist.
The installations harmoniously integrate into the landscape, framing with essential geometric forms the exciting panorama of balze, calanchi, and hills exposed to the wind, with Volterra majestically dominating the horizon. The encounter with these contemporary works of art further enriches the bicycle tour experience, adding a cultural dimension to the pleasure of physical activity and immersion in nature.

THE LOWER SABINA AND THE TIBURTINA
The first Apennine stage of the GTL moves towards the border with Abruzzo, near the ancient Via Tiburtina Valeria: to this state road, built on the route of the Roman road commissioned by the consul who extended its course towards the Adriatic from Tibur (today Tivoli), however, the route prefers secondary roads on the other side of the Aniene, sometimes on dirt roads, others on paved roads with little traffic. The Aniene river is the constant of the entire stage: squeezed between the motorway and the state road, in fact, our route winds up and down in the valley carved by this tributary of the Tiber, once sacred to the Romans, in a humid and shady setting.We leave Tivoli by crossing the city gates and climbing imperceptibly towards the mountains: on the right the Lucretili complex and the Monte Catillo Nature Reserve, on the left the Simbruini. From the various villages on the Tiburtina there are countless hiking trails and detours to the peaks.Thus pass the villages and hamlets, built in white stone and increasingly similar to those of Abruzzo: Castel Madama, Vicovaro, Mandela, Pereto, and finally Roviano and Arsoli with their respective castles, a residue of a noble past. But the real tourist attraction of these areas is Nature, with its unspoiled woods and mountains.The difference in height is fluctuating but easy, the vegetation gradually becomes thicker, you gradually gain altitude and the Rome / Avezzano railway line is always there next to you for any problem. From Mandela there is also a route obtained from a former railway that leads to the beautiful Subiaco, certainly worthy of a detour
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno
Among the classic outings in Cremona, one cannot fail to consider the tour of the Bodri which extends to the south-east of the city.
This ebike tour south-east of Cremona allows you to immerse yourself in nature. A ring that starts and ends in Cremona where you can rent your e-bikes at the camping.
The legacy of the river Po, which over the centuries has shifted its path, has left indelible marks on the territory: the bodri, small self-sufficient circular lakes with their micro ecosystem, and the physical signs of the level of flooding on the buildings.
What to see in the Parco del Po and Morbasco
An all-inclusive itinerary in the Po and Morbasco Local Park of Supra-municipal Interest (PLIS) with high naturalistic value. A good observer will be able to see various species of birdlife from the top of the embankments on which the cycle and pedestrian paths run and enjoy the shade of centuries-old trees in one of the paths that guarantee refreshment areas even in summer.
Curiosity is also aroused by the possibility of encountering unusual structures for an agricultural area: mcrenellated farmhouse, a polymerdiana, votive columns, etc ...
Based on your needs, we can enrich the tailor-made tour and contact the most suitable facilities by sending you a dedicated quote.
Pedaling slowly is the best way to enjoy the experience, with BikeSquare Cremona you can.
