A new cycle route links the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas on two routes that currently have no connecting axis.
The new cycle route will run through Tuscany Umbria and Marche
"We will fill this gap by signing a memorandum of understanding between Tuscany. Umbria and Marche,” says Stefano Baccelli, Tuscany’s regional councillor for infrastructure and mobility.
The Monte Argentario-Civitanova Marche Cycle Route will run through Tuscany, Umbria and Marche and the towns of Albinia, Pitigliano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Orvieto, Todi, Perugia, Assisi, Foligno, Serravalle di Chienti, Tolentino, Corridonia and Civitanova Marche.
The cycle route will have food outlets and services
It will interconnect with the Ciclovia del Sole and the Ciclovia degli Appennini, as well as with the Via Francigena, Via di Francesco and Via Lauretana which can also be travelled by bike.
"Our intention,- adds councillor Baccelli, -is to create an interconnected, protected network with bicycle and pedestrian routes through places of environmental, landscape, cultural and tourist interest. It will not just be a mini strip of asphalt but a new road with a network of services and facilities, including refreshment outlets.”
Plans to connect to the regional and national railway network
The route will also connect with the regional and national railway network at San Casciano dei Bagni and Albinia. On the final Albinia-Porto Santo Stefano section there are also plans to recover the route of the former Argentario railway as far as Tombolo della Giannella.
