Now the entire stretch is paved, with the exception of about a hundred meters, but still easily passable. It is entirely passable even with a road bike. The fact remains that it is a beautiful route outside of traffic with scenic stretches.

Located at the foot of the Euganean Hills, the Abbey of Praglia is a jewel of spirituality and Renaissance art, founded in the 11th century and still inhabited by a community of Benedictine monks. The complex impresses with the harmony of its four cloisters, among which the hanging cloister stands out, dominating the surrounding landscape with timeless grace. Inside the Basilica and the Monumental Refectory, valuable pictorial cycles can be admired, but it is the famous Monumental Library, with its precious volumes, that represents the intellectual heart of the monastery. The abbey is also known for its book restoration laboratory, one of the most important worldwide, where monks patiently preserve ancient manuscripts. Visiting Praglia means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of industrious silence, amidst the scent of apiary products and the elegance of architectures that celebrate the balance between man, faith, and nature.

The climb is steep and uneven. Once at the top, the view all the way to the Alpine chapel is stunning. Highly recommended.

Done dozens of times because it's close to home. With a loop around Boscalbo and Lonzina, convenient outdoor parking, sometimes free. PS: The shop staff are not up to par, rushed, and not at all welcoming. Replace them with kind and thorough ladies. The friars want to be friars, and rightly so.

A beautiful building located on the slopes of Monte Alto in the municipality of Montegrotto. The villa currently hosts events and exhibitions. Beyond the villa is a park with numerous hiking trails leading into the Euganean Hills.

Great place to stop, lots of tables but not much space to park your bike if you don't have a stand.
