There’s one way to explore the Furlo Gorge State Reserve that beats all the others: by bike. And if it’s an e-bike (electric bike), then fun is guaranteed for everyone, whatever your fitness level!
When staying at the Abbazia Furlo Rest Area, you’ll have the chance to hire bikes and e-bikes to turn your stopover into an unforgettable adventure amidst breathtaking views and historic villages.
Why is an e-bike the perfect choice here?
The Furlo and Acqualagna area is stunning but… “undulating”. The climbs leading to the most beautiful viewpoints can be challenging. With pedal assistance, however, even the climb up to Monte Pietralata becomes a pleasure: less effort, more energy to enjoy the view!
Two recommended routes starting from the Rest Area:
- The Classic (For everyone): Set off from the rest area and follow the flat road that crosses the entire Gorge. You’ll pass beneath the imposing rock faces, skirting the blue river. It’s a short, safe route with incredible views.
- The Panoramic (For the more adventurous): Climb towards the peaks of the mountains that flank the Gorge. With an e-bike, you can reach the summit meadows from where you can see the Adriatic Sea on one side and the Apennines on the other. An experience that will make you feel on top of the world.
The benefits of on-site hire:
- Zero stress: You don’t have to load the bikes onto your campervan or car. You’ll find them ready and waiting here.
- Personalised advice: We’ll recommend the trails best suited to your experience and the time you have available.
- Easy charging: If you have your own e-bikes, our pitches are equipped with power sockets to ensure they’re fully charged every morning.
Not just sport, but also good food
Cycling is the best way to reach the local restaurants and kiosks without worrying about parking. Whether it’s for a piadina at the Chiosco dell’Abbazia or a plate of tagliolini with truffle in the centre of Acqualagna, your bike is your passport to freedom. Che sia per una piadina al Chiosco dell’Abbazia o per un piatto di tagliolini al tartufo in centro ad Acqualagna, la bici è il vostro passaporto per la libertà.
