THE ROUTE
The Via Romea Germanica is a pricelessly valuable historical and cultural heritage. This ancient pilgrim way starts from Saxony on the North Sea and goes through three countries – Germany, Austria and Italy– joining the Brenner Pass to Rome through mediaeval hill towns, art cities and an uncontaminated nature.
With the VRG BIKE ROUTE, our intention has been to acquaint cycling enthusiasts with the true value of this route and make it accessible to them, offering a bike touring experience that combines adventure, culture, contact with nature and traditional cuisines. Pedalling along the 1,050 kilometres that go through the six Regions in Italy will give you the opportunity of discovering the hidden beauties of the “Bel Paese” in a sustainable fashion far from the usual cycle touring itineraries.
With the VRG BIKE ROUTE, you can stay in welcoming farms and bed & breakfasts, savouring genuine Romagna hospitality. On your journey you can visit iconic places of interest like medieval hill towns and villages, historic castles and natural reserves such as the Casentinesi Forests National Park.
Exploring these areas by bicycle allows you to live an authentic experience in contact with nature and local traditions. The VRG BIKE ROUTE is not only a cycle route but a gateway to an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Romagna.
Our main objective is to promote and develop the territory of Romagna by highlighting its natural and cultural beauties to through cycle tourism. We have worked out a cycle route that connects Northern Europe with all the local trails of pilgrims that are adjacent to or intersect with the Via Romea Germanica for the promotion and growth of the culture, tourism and economy of the Romagna area covered by the Local Action Group “L’Altra Romagna”.
