The best road cycling routes around Campello Sul Clitunno

Forca di Cerro pass

Trevi's historic center retains the charm of its medieval alleys, narrow and winding, weaving between stone houses and ancient buildings. These streets were designed not only to connect squares and gates, but also to defend the city, creating sheltered and safe routes. The houses feature small doorways and windows, while stairways and arches connect different levels, following the hilly terrain. Walking through the alleys, you'll experience a secluded atmosphere, filled with unexpected glimpses and silhouettes of rooftops and bell towers. Every corner tells stories of daily life, shops, markets, and medieval traditions, making the village a true journey into the past.

The Roman Theater of Spoleto is one of the most important Roman monuments in the city and represents a significant testimony to the cultural life of ancient Spoletium. It was built in the 1st century BC, in an area near the forum, according to the architectural models of classical Roman theater. The cavea, built against the natural slope of Sant'Elia Hill, was divided into sectors and could accommodate several thousand spectators. Opposite were the orchestra and the monumental stage, originally decorated with columns, niches, and statues, which served as a backdrop for theatrical and musical performances. The building was constructed of masonry and clad in local stone, with technical solutions that ensured good acoustics. After the end of the Roman era, the theater was gradually abandoned and was partially incorporated into medieval buildings. The area was restored in the 20th century, restoring the structure's visibility and highlighting its archaeological importance. Today, the Roman Theatre is part of the National Archaeological Museum of Spoleto and continues to serve a cultural purpose, hosting events and performances that renew the city's connection to its thousand-year-old theatrical tradition.

I would like to suggest that when travelling through the Valnerina about ten kilometres after Borgo Cerreto, take a detour on the right marked PIEDIPATERNO. This will avoid travelling along the rather busy provincial road and still arrive in Spoleto, passing through the Forca di Ferro (it is a climb with a gradient of approximately 4/6%, 10km long with a difference in altitude of approximately 400 metres…ZERO TRAFFIC, good surface.

Trevi, picturesque and simply beautiful location!

Provincial road 22, called Carsulana, connects Terni to several locations, including the archaeological site of Carsulae. It is managed by the Province of Terni and passes through the municipal territory of Terni, San Venanzo, Montegabbione and Calvi dell'Umbria. The road surface is well maintained, the landscapes are beautiful, and you pass through the archaeological site of Carsulae. The vast archaeological area, a true open-air museum, extends for over 20 hectares and the monuments still visible are notable: the theater, the amphitheater, the forum, the basilica, the temples, some tombs, the ancient route of the Via Flaminia with the original stone paving and the arch of San Damiano.

Small town near Terni, lies at an altitude of 437 m. on the slopes of Mount Eolo. The town is very characteristic and from there you can see the entire Terni basin. Getting there is challenging, but it is worth it

Step with rideable slopes.
