Highlights
An itinerary that develops in nature, for long parts on the cycle path of the Serchio river and on secondary country roads.
The route is completely flat and, starting from Lucca, goes all around the Monti Pisani, avoiding the main roads that cross them. The background is mixed dirt, cycle, asphalt and is suitable both for e-bikes and trekking bikes.
Along the way you will find San Giuliano Terme, after about 20km, to refresh yourself in the charming central square in front of the Spa. The itinerary ends in Piazza dei Miracoli, in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
After the visit to Piazza dei Miracoli and the usual photos, it is possible to return easily by train by loading the bicycle on the prepared wagons. (about 25 minutes of travel).
The more trained can decide to go back by bike along a more direct route. At the shop we will give you all instructions to follow our customised itinerary on a free app for mobile and all accessories to be independent and safe and then you have just to cycle and have fun!
