Tips from the Community
A nicely laid out route, but with some shortcomings: 1. Very uneven surface. With luggage or a racing bike, it's much easier to ride on the road; unfortunately, you get a lot of jolts here. 2. The narrow path makes visibility difficult in many places, and you share the path with oncoming cyclists and pedestrians—which can make it dangerous. 3. Furthermore, there are small, unmarked bollards in the middle of the path in many places. These are particularly dangerous with panniers on your bike.

Arrived at the gates of Lungro, instead of going up the ramp on the left with indications for the cycle path in the direction of Acquaformosa, it is better to proceed towards the center of the town and continue on the main road; in this way you avoid that very hard uphill stretch which shortens by very little. Better to preserve strength in view of other asperities.

The loricate pines of the Pollino National Park are resilient and long-lived plants; among all, Italus stands out which with its 1235 years in 2023 is the oldest tree in Europe.
