 Route
1 |
|
| The
bridges and customs of Popiglio |
| The return trip is about 2 km on a practicable mule track.
The itinerary is charming even if not very well known and can
be done throughout the whole year. From the parking lot, after
a brief slope, it soon reaches the bridge of Castruccio and
the smaller bridge over the brook Torbecchia. Continuing on
the mule track for a short while along the stream Lima the walk
leads to the bridge over the stream Liesina. |

| Having crossed the bridge of Castruccio we take the old mule
track, which goes up to the town of Popiglio. Walking through

 Route

|
| The
cycle circuit of Popiglio |
| This path is 37 km long and requires a certain amount of effort.
It is on asphalt roads to be covered entirely on mountain bikes.
From the parking lot at Lamure we reach the road going to Piteglio.
After a few hundred metres past the village of Migliorini, we
veer right towards Piteglio. At the schools we take a downhill
road to the valley and then back up to Casa di Monte. Here we
go down to the road to the villages of Crespole, Lanciole, then
Pontito and up to Croce a Veglia. On a dirt track we go down
to Lucchio and proceed on asphalt road to the bridge, near the
"Tana a Termini". Here we go back up to Popiglio and
then down to the bridge of Castruccio. It is highly advisable
to wear a helmet and bring a water bottle. |
