Upper Lazio and Umbria by bike
An itinerary straddling the two regions of Lazio and Umbria to discover some of their jewels, the valley of the Calanchi Civita di Bagnoregio and the city of Orvieto with its splendid cathedral. The itinerary starts from the village of Lubriano, the most beautiful terrace overlooking the valley of the calanchi and continues to the banks of the Corbara reservoir set in the Tiber River Park, before arriving at Orvieto.
A visit to the cathedral is a must, as is a stroll through the alleyways of this ancient Etruscan city. Return to the starting point via secondary and country roads following the itinerary of the Via Romea Germanica.
