Description of the route
An easy mountain bike loop trail through the colors of the countryside of Manfredonia, Apulia.
Pedaling on sections of the old railways that once took farmers from Foggia to Manfredonia, thus linking the city with the countryside, the route winds through a landscape characteristic of these lands, among olive groves and open-pit bauxite mines.
