Right where the Ponte Vecchio, symbol of the populous Ponte San Giovanni neighborhood, was rebuilt, the Tiber cycle/pedestrian path begins, which runs along the river and reaches Ponte Pattoli and beyond.

Another suggestive point of the Tiber cycle path that runs along the Ponti del Perugia. Here we are at Ponte Valleceppi, which probably derives its name because in ancient times it was a natural point for the collection of tree trunks (cippum in Latin), where the river accelerates its course following a (slight) inclination of the land. The Bridge overlooks everything, and the area is very well equipped

The Tiber cycle path that runs along the bridges of Perugia is rich in nature, it is pleasant to ride almost entirely along the river, and it is completely flat. Here we are in Ponte Felcino, a name that comes from the vulgarization of San Felicissimo. The stretch is particularly suggestive, silent even though it is in the middle of the city, well-organized and equipped, also with places to stop and refresh

On the southern part of Mount Tezio, several hills slope down towards the Tiber, often dominated by ancient castles and several churches; in the Middle Ages it was a very populated area, as evidenced by numerous churches and parishes, such as S. Lorenzo della Rabatta, now closed. It is on these roads, among suggestive landscapes, that you come across the Church of S. Lorenzo di Montenero, built around 1160 and then half destroyed by the earthquake of 1984 and now restored by private individuals). As private property, it cannot be visited but once a year, on the occasion of the anniversary of San Lorenzo, on August 11, the owners open it to the public. The building is beautiful, the views you can enjoy are worth the effort. Watch out for the road surface!
