Descrizione
Discover Spello and its surroundings on an exciting self-guided ebike tour through the fascinating landscapes of Umbria. Starting from the ancient medieval town of Spello, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and history along a route that will take you through evocative places and picturesque villages.
Our tour, suitable for everyone, starts in Spello and following the Subasio road takes us to the castle of Collepino. Collepino, once known as Colle-Lupino or Collepieno, is a charming medieval castle situated on the eastern slopes of Mount Subasio, at an altitude of 600 metres above sea level. From its promontory, always kissed by the sun, one can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Chiona torrent, the city of Foligno and the Spoletana Valley. St. Francis, in a moment of admiration, said of the Spoletana Valley: ‘Nihil iucundius vidi valle mea spoletana’ - ‘I have seen nothing more beautiful than my Spoletana Valley’.
Continuing along the road that skirts Subasio and passes the enchanting castle of San Giovanni di Collepino, one arrives at Armenzano, the castle perched on a hill that offers a spectacular view of the Nocerine hills and mountains and the green valley of the Anna torrent. Every year in June, the surrounding landscape is covered in the brilliant yellow-gold mantle of flowering broom.
Following the same road, we then reach the tiny and pretty hamlet of Costa di Trex, which from the slopes of Subasio overlooks the Tescio valley and the Marchetto ditch.
The tour then continues in the direction of Assisi, where a stop is obligatory due to the countless beauties and sightseeing opportunities that this place, one of the most popular and well-known in the entire Umbria region, offers visitors.
From Assisi we then take the route back to Spello via the magnificent Via degli Ulivi, passing enchanting views and small jewels of local history and culture such as the Maestà del Mascione (or Mascicone). This scenic route halfway between Assisi and Spello, known for its numerous olive groves, offers an evocative journey immersed in nature.
Discover Umbria by ebike with this unforgettable self-guided tour and be enchanted by the timeless beauty of this fascinating Italian region.
