A gravel route that starts from Trieste's Central Station, passing through the wonderful Piazza Unità d'Italia and along the city's shores, which allow a wonderful first view of the sea. The ride continues along Elysian Fields Avenue, then passing, with an increase in elevation gain, through Sant'Antonio in Bosco, a peaceful hamlet nestled in the hills. The gravel route crosses the picturesque Bosco Stena, where lush vegetation accompanies the pedaling. Heading toward Basovizza, the route crosses the charming Val Rosandra nature reserve, characterized by charming vegetation with vertical flysch walls, large screes and extraordinary viewpoints over the Gulf of Trieste. The route winds its way across the border, arriving in Sezana and then returning to Italy via Trebiciano and the viewpoint of Mount Belvedere di Banne. Finally returning to the city along Strada Nuova to Opicina, the loop completes its circle by returning to the Central Station.
