Bike Tour in the Euganean Hills

Along the cycle paths, among villas, castles and vineyards - (Bk: 454741)

With this Bike Tour in the Euganean Hills we will start from Abano Montegrotto Terme and we will reach the bike path E2, the Euganean Hills Ring bike path. After a while we will arrive at the majestic Castle of Catajo and cross the river village of Battaglia Terme. We will finally reach the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio. It’s a symbolic garden of the seventeenth century, called a few years ago the most beautiful park in Italy, completely surrounded by the green landscape and the soft curves of the Euganean Hills. Water fountains, tree-lined avenues, fountains, the intricate labyrinth and statues are harmoniously united in an allegorical path of “Salvation” along which the visitor, going through various stages, from the Portal of Diana to the Statue of Winged Time to the Dolphin Fountain, is guided in the symbolic liberation from sins. If you mind, we can lengthen the Bike tour in the Euganean Hills by reaching the little lake of Costa, one of the most important naturalistic-archaeological sites of the Euganean Hills. According to recent discoveries, the Costa lake was already inhabited in prehistoric times by the first inhabitants of the Euganean Hills and today it is still the lake from which the famous curative thermal mud of Abano Montegrotto Spa is extracted. For nature lovers: we can add to our bike ride a little path in the middle of the vineyard up to Lispida Lake, a beautiful thermal lake hidden from the eyes of regular visitors at the foot of Lispida Hill.
