Basilicata Parks Bike Tour

At 8:30 am, we'll meet at Piazza Piano della Corte in the heart of Castelsaraceno. There, we'll get on our electric bikes, put on our helmets and start a 40-kilometer bike ride (25 miles) through nature. We'll follow a mix of asphalt and dirt paths while taking in the lush green forests of the Basilicata region.

As we pedal through Appennino Lucano-Val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, we'll admire landscapes full of local flora and learn about the animals that inhabit this area, including wild boars and wolves.

During the route, we'll also see Mount Raparo rising above the horizon at 1761 meters above sea level (over 5700 feet).

Continuing through Pollino National Park, known for being the last Italian refuge of the Balkan pine, we'll encounter several specimens of these trees that also grow in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Greece.

After enjoying the cycling route filled with amazing landscapes, we'll finish the tour at 2:30 pm back at the starting point.
