CESENATICO - SOGLIANO - CESENATICO

Three hills are enlivened by the three towns proposed by this itinerary which fairly distributes its charm among nature, history and gastronomy. A sea breeze accompanies the gentle uphill slope to the village of Sogliano al Rubicone. Following an encounter with the local speciality - Fossa cheese – we will continue downhill to the Rubicone valley to “conquer” the Longiano hill, with panoramic views over the Riviera. A long ride across the valley will “loosen your legs” before arriving at the conclusion of the route, after a day going uphill.

Not to be missed:
the range of themes proposed, the history, enogastronomy, culture, framed by spectacular views and panoramas, gives an insight into what Romagna can offer to its visitors.
