Cycle routes of Romagna
In Romagna the bike is at home: along the sea everything is flat, the river banks lead from town to the coast and the hills are a training ground for climbers. Here are 11 routes, each with its official page.
The lines come from OpenStreetMap; some routes are not drawn yet and are only in the list. Before you set off, download the track from the official website.
Ciclovia Adriatica
Lido di Volano → Gabicce Mare
- Difficulty easy
- Bike trekking or city bike
The Romagna stretch of the great route that runs along the whole Adriatic, from Trieste to Santa Maria di Leuca: seafronts, pine forests and canal ports, almost all flat. In Rimini it runs along the new Parco del Mare.
La Via del Mare
Bologna → Marina di Ravenna
- 140 km
- Difficulty easy
- Bike trekking or city bike
About 140 km from Bologna to the sea, ideal for a weekend: along the Navile canal, the banks of the Reno and the nature reserves to Casalborsetti, then the ferry across the canal port between Porto Corsini and Marina di Ravenna. One stretch on the Reno bank is for mountain bikes only, with an alternative on local roads.
Adriabike
Ravenna → Venezia, Trieste, Kranjska Gora
- Difficulty easy
- Bike trekking or city bike
The Upper Adriatic cycle route, part of the European EuroVelo 8 network: from Ravenna through the Po Delta Park towards Venice, Trieste and the Julian Alps, following canals and lagoons.
Percorso ciclo-naturalistico del fiume Lamone
Muraglione → Piallassa della Baiona
- 35 km
- Difficulty easy
- Bike trekking or city bike
35 km along the Lamone river, in every season: the plain, the reclaimed valleys, the San Vitale pine forest, the flooded forest of Punte Alberete with its water birds, down to the dune at the river mouth.
In bici al mare da Ravenna
Ravenna → Lido di Dante, Punta Marina
- 40 km
- Difficulty medium
- Bike trekking or city bike
A 40 km loop from Piazza dell'Aquila: south to Classe and the basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, a Unesco site, then a gravel road through the pine forest to the sea at Lido di Dante, Lido Adriano and Punta Marina, and back to town.
Argine degli Angeli
Sant'Alberto → Valli di Comacchio
- Difficulty easy
- Bike trekking or city bike
Just north of Ravenna, in the Po Delta Park: from Sant'Alberto a cycle and foot path leads to the Argine degli Angeli, an ancient sandbar in the middle of the Comacchio lagoons, among Camargue horses and birds.
Ciclovia del Santerno
Mordano → Castel del Rio
- 44 km
- Difficulty medium
- Bike mountain or gravel bike
44 km from the Imola plain to the hills of the Gypsum Vein, a Unesco site, up to the Alidosi bridge of 1499 at Castel del Rio. Asphalt and dirt: better a mountain or gravel bike. In two places you cross the river on foot, water permitting.
After the floods of 2023 and 2024 some stretches may be closed or diverted: ask the tourist office before you set off.
Ciclovia dei Gessi di Gaibola
San Lazzaro di Savena → Ozzano dell'Emilia
- 21 km
- Difficulty demanding
- Bike mountain or gravel bike
A loop of about 21 km in the Park of the Gypsum Hills and Badlands of Abbadessa, a Unesco site, among sinkholes and caves. It starts from San Lazzaro di Savena or Ozzano dell'Emilia station. Short but with hard climbs: you need a mountain bike.
Grand Tour Valle del Savio
Cesenatico, Cesena → Bagno di Romagna

A 172 km loop with 3,332 metres of climbing that follows the Savio river from the coast up to the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines. Italian Green Road Award 2022. You can also ride just one stage, or use an e-bike.

Ciclabile del Marecchia
Rimini → Saiano, Novafeltria

Before you ride
Download the track
The official pages almost always have the GPX track: load it on your phone or bike computer.
Water and heat
In summer there is no shade on the river banks and in the lagoons: set off early, bring water and sun cream.
Mosquitoes
Near the lagoons and pine forests, at sunset, insect repellent is a good friend.
