Mountain biking

It dates back to the 19th century and was a commercial port that marked the terminus of the railway through which coal from the Montebamboli mines reached the sea.

Gravel riding

At the end of the 1840s, a short distance from the nearby Torre Mozza, the Carbonifera pier operated, built to load lignite extracted from Montebamboli which arrived at the sea thanks to the railway. To allow loading, a jetty was built where the wagons arrived by gravity. The railway was closed at the beginning of 1900 and the same fate befell the infrastructure serving the mine.

Carbonifera in the past was a small port that marked the final point of a railway with which the coal from the mines reached the sea from the interior.
