In September 2023 it doesn't seem complete and it's not easy to always follow the trail, but still a nice valorization project.

Beautiful lake, suggestive place, you can find everything from the bike mechanic, to the restaurant, to the grove for a picnic. Very nice as a location, it feels good in the shade of the wood that surrounds the lake.

Beautiful cycle path that starts from Lagonegro and arrives in the municipality of Rotonda, the Lagonegro section up to Galdo, the former Prestieri station is excellently maintained, from Galdo onwards there is vegetation that is invading the cycle path. Breathtaking views, bridges and tunnels, all nestled in nature. Acceptable difference in height, very beautiful and panoramic. The galleries are not all lit, the Rose gallery 1600mt is without lighting, the other shorter ones are. To be done at least once.
