Sport

While in Bologna hills, enjoy your farm holiday with a mountain bike, hiking or trekking, all experiences you can enjoy staying at Cavicchio.

By bike

At our agriturismo in Emilia Romagna you may rent one or more bikes, and go along the itineraries of your choice. If you like, we can advise you about the most appropriate tours for you. In addition, we can lend you detailed maps. Afraid of getting tired? No problem! There are several cycling routes where you can load your bike on the train at stations: doesn’t it sound fun?! There is a covered and safe garage where guests can store their bikes. Tool kits for small fixings are available. In any circumstance, we have an assistance agreement with a bike service shop nearby.

Suggested bike tours

An easy and flat cycle road takes you from Agriturismo il Cavicchio to the town of Rastignano and back, all along the river Savena, for a total of 4 kilometers. Small paved roads twist and turn along the valleys and the Apennine ridges (the mythical SS65, Strada Nazionale della Futa, the Zena valley, the Porrettana National Road…) gravel roads, mule tracks, single tracks, demanding downhills, will take you amidst woods and grain fields, vineyards and badlands, sandstone cliffs and rock hamlets.

Trekking and Nordic walking: excursions

Many are the chances of training and keeping fit while at Il Cavicchio: as an example, what’s about a tonifying hike? Leaving agriturismo il Cavicchio by foot, you must not miss trails winding along the hills, even more so if you practise Nordic Walking, (pole walking, the Finnish “Sauvakävely”). Of course, we will provide you with all the maps you need and we will inform you about weather forecasts before you set off.

Choose your itinerary

A beautiful and varied walk starts directly from the farm. Through our fields and our forest, you can reach the ravine of Malpasso River and continuing along the ridge you arrive to Sabbiuno memorial, on the summit between the valleys of the Savena and the Rhine.

Don’t miss the 5 Bolognese Valleys Crossing, and the Natural Reserve of Pliocenic Counterfort. If you wish to have a close encounter with History and Nature, explore the Historical Park of Monte Sole.
