Rondje Forte di Pietole en Parco del Mincio

The ride

From Buscoldo you roll out toward the Parco del Mincio, a nature reserve where the Mincio river sets the pace. The route then skirts the Laghi di Mantova and passes the Rocca di Sparafucile, a castle, before meeting the Fiume Mincio again and the Forte di Pietole, another castle. Of the 65.6 km, a good share runs unpaved, so the surface changes as you go. Then it's back to Buscoldo to close the loop.
