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.

SORATTE AND SURROUNDINGS
A challenging and fascinating stage, the first in the land of the Etruscans: from here to the end of the GTL, for its entire northern arc, we will cross necropolises, tuff walls and roads cut into the stone and woods, the legacy of a people still partly mysterious and then merged into Roman civilization. From Stimigliano we cross two large "barriers", the Tiber first and then the Autostrada del Sole, to find ourselves in front of the only great giant that stands alone in the Agro Romano: Monte Soratte. With its unmistakable profiles, it is a limestone massif from which numerous hiking and mountain bike trails start, and has always stimulated the imagination of poets, writers and travelers, first of all Horace. To move around these hilly and often winding territories, the GTL 12 uses two European cycle paths, the Eurovelo 5 Romea Francigena and the Eurovelo 7 We continue along winding roads to Sant'Oreste, then Faleria, an ancient settlement of an ancient Lazio population, the Falisci, until we reach one of the pearls of Upper Lazio: Calcata, perched on a block of tuff in the middle of the Treja valley, is a village that seems to isolate itself from the rest of the world, once a refuge for hippie municipalities, today for craft shops. We continue descending into the woods of the Treja river valley, where there are also many paths and bridleways for fascinating detours such as the one to the Monte Gelato Waterfalls, a real locus amoenus used as a set for many films. From here we make a long bend to cross the Treja river to the north (there are no crossing passages except for very bumpy and impervious), and reach the two pretty villages of Nepi, a Borgia stronghold, and Civita Castellana, which gathers around its Fort San Gallo. Still through the countryside and woods, this time on the western bank of the Tiber, the last kilometers of the stage to Orte flow, also perched on a tuffaceous block and certainly worth a visit.

You can choose to move with both the traditional bike and the ebike. The route takes place predominantly on the embankments of the Tiber and therefore in plain plain, with the exception of two small packages to be overcome midway.
This round must be considered easy. It takes place on stilled roads and trails of clay courts that do not present particular difficulties. The sights are idyllic with the river Tevere slowly flowing to the right, fields and pasture blossoms to the left and a regoglish vegetation full of life along the Tevere's embankments. Particularly evocative of the views from the two packages on the whole of the Tiber Valley and towards the Eternal City with the tops of the Apennines in the background in the clear days.
During the 17 Km from Casal Bernocchi to Ostia Antica we will be completely immersed in the countryside green without practically cross-checking motorized vehicles. Arriving after about 2 and a half hours of quiet pedalds at the picturesque medieval village of Ostia Antica with the Renaissance castle of Julius II and behind the enormous excavations of the ancient port city.
After the brief visit to the archaeological park we will continue through the beautiful Ostia pineta in the direction of the waterfront to finally approve the modern Porto di Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber. Here you can have lunch in one of the many restaurantines. Return to Rome in the early afternoon with the trench from the Lido Centre station that takes about half an hour.
