Cycle paths of the parks, cycling through nature

Bike lovers, this is your time to shine!
Don’t miss the chance to practise your favourite sport surrounded by pristine nature in a gently undulating landscape of hills and valleys full of historical and architectural gems.
We already talked about the Regional parks (suitable for the whole family) and 4 best cycling routes in Romagna between nature and culture, so today we will tell you about the Cycle Paths of the Parks, 10 cycling routes from the province of Piacenza to Romagna within 9 regional parks and a nature reserve.

Ciclovia dello Stirone – Stirone and Piacenziano Regional Park

Ciclovia del Taro – Taro River Regional Park

Ciclovia Boschi di Carrega – Carrega Woods Regional Park

Ciclovia del Parco dei Sassi – Sassi di Roccamalatina Regional Park

Ciclovia dei Gessi di Gaibola – Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell’Abbadessa Regional Park

Ciclovia della Memoria – Monte Sole Historical Regional Park

Ciclovia di Monteveglio – Monteveglio Abbey Regional Park

Ciclovia dei Gessi – Vena del Gesso Romagnola Regional Park

Ciclovia del Trebbia – Trebbia River Regional Park

Ciclovia del Secchia – Secchia River Detention Basin Nature Reserve

These cycling paths are suitable for everyone (even beginners) since the paths have different levels of difficulty and can be cycled in 1-day or half-day stages.

To choose the path that best suit your skills, have a look at the technical sheet of the cycling path (which includes information on the length, gradient, level of difficulty, travel times, cultural and environmental destinations, useful contact details) and at the map with GPS directions, to reach the site and follow the direction signs.

If you are environmentally conscious, remember that these routes can also be reached by train.
At the nearest train station, specific signage will show you how to easily reach the protected area and the cycling path.

Further information is also available free of charge at the visitor centres in the area:
– The “Ciclovie dei Parchi leaflet;
– The “Ciclovie dei Parchi” roadmap.

Would you please supply me with information about renting bicycles for these trips. I will be travelling from overseas so will not be able to bring my own bike. I do a lot of mountain and track cycling so am not interested in a commuter style bike.
Thank you

  Your question is hard to answer. Which cycle path do you will intend to ride? Emilia-Romagna is big
