Embark on the Lake Lesina Loop, a moderate mountain biking adventure spanning 36.6 miles (59.0 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 279 feet (85 metres). This route takes you around the brackish Lake Lesina, offering a unique blend of reed beds, sandy coastlines, and pine forests. You will find the flat horizons often create a seamless blend where the lake's water meets the sky, providing a distinctive visual experience throughout your ride. Expect to complete this scenic loop in about 3 hours and 42 minutes, enjoying the diverse landscapes of Parco Nazionale del Gargano.
When planning your visit, be aware that the trail consists of unpaved roads and sections of hard-packed sandy surfaces. During dry periods, some areas might have deep and loose sand, potentially requiring you to dismount and push your bike for short stretches. Parking is generally available in the nearby town of Lesina, which serves as a convenient starting point for your mountain biking excursion. Consider starting your ride early to enjoy cooler temperatures and less traffic on the route.
The Lake Lesina Loop is notable for its ecological significance as a major biotope, especially for migratory birds. Keep an eye out for various species, including the striking pink flamingos, which frequent the lagoon. The route also passes by the Foce Schiapparo Bridge, a landmark that confirms the completion of the full circuit around Lake Lesina, adding to the sense of accomplishment on this unique coastal ride.
