About this tour

A gravel adventure along the Marecchia river! Starting from the Bridge of Tiberius in the heart of Rimini, we follow the Marecchia cycle path with its vibrant murals, past ancient willows and poplar groves. The route winds through riverside paths to the legendary Tree of San Francesco — a 500-year-old mulberry tree of deep spiritual significance. From here we tackle the gravel climb to the hilltop village of Montebello, home to a medieval castle with sweeping views over the Valmarecchia valley. The return trip offers golden-hour vistas of the valley before looping back along quiet country lanes.
