A cycle tour through Umbria with a touch of Tuscany and the Marche.

 

 

This tour is for those who would like to discover Umbria in all its aspects, because you will find a combination of nature, culture, history and local traditions. In the tranquil Umbrian landscape you will find rolling hills covered with woodland, vineyards and olive grooves alternated with colourful fertile valleys. The nature in the North of Umbria becomes more rough and unspoilt. Here the friendly hills change into a mountain landscape with scenic views of the Apennines. But everywhere after the tranquillity of nature you will find friendly little towns bubbling over with life. Atmospheric town squares surrounded by monumental palazzo's, little alleys and the many impressive churches and castles will take you back to a time long-gone.
