An ideal route for gravel bikes, which runs along river banks and quiet gravel country roads as well as as asphalt roads. The route connects the hills and the coast, passing through iconic places such as Cervia Salt Pan and Salt Warehouses and the small villages of the hinterland, which bear witness to a lesser-known but more authentic Romagna. Bertinoro, the first bastion of the hilly territory, is never out of sight and accompanies cyclists like a lighthouse: pedalling is like a sporting tour also dedicated to relaxation and old-fashioned cycling.
