This short and easy route, suitable for all cyclists, takes in one of the most fascinating, well-known areas of Umbria, where the artistic and cultural heritage of the towns of Assisi and Spello blend perfectly with the interesting variety of landscape between the imposing peak of Monte Subasio and the Foligno plain.
The route starts from the high part of Assisi, the symbol in the word of Christianity and spirituality. Among olive trees we arrive in Spello. This former ancient Roman settlement which still boasts numerous vestiges of that epoch, such as the remains of the Roman theatre, the Amphitheatre, the town walls, the baths and the Arch of Augustus.
