Next favorite #cycling experience: biking from Mantova to Lago di Garda.
••
Biking through the Italian countryside is exactly as beautiful as it sounds. This path follows the Mincio River, and ends in the village of Peschiera del Garda on the edge of the famous lake.
••
At around 44 km/27.3 miles, the path took a little over 4 hours to complete including stops in the villages I passed on the way (and a lunchtime stop) - a direct bike ride with no stops would probably take 2.5-3, but I really recommend looking around the villages for a while.
••
Biking in May provided great views - poppies in bloom, green fields and river reflections - but also a fair amount of heat and insects to deal with. I recommend this route very highly to people who aren’t expert cyclists but want a nice long countryside/sightseeing ride. #losethemap
