The best road cycling routes around Torreglia

You can find it on the E2 trail of the hills

Located at the foot of the Euganean Hills, the Abbey of Praglia is a jewel of spirituality and Renaissance art, founded in the 11th century and still inhabited by a community of Benedictine monks. The complex impresses with the harmony of its four cloisters, among which the hanging cloister stands out, dominating the surrounding landscape with timeless grace. Inside the Basilica and the Monumental Refectory, valuable pictorial cycles can be admired, but it is the famous Monumental Library, with its precious volumes, that represents the intellectual heart of the monastery. The abbey is also known for its book restoration laboratory, one of the most important worldwide, where monks patiently preserve ancient manuscripts. Visiting Praglia means immersing yourself in an atmosphere of industrious silence, amidst the scent of apiary products and the elegance of architectures that celebrate the balance between man, faith, and nature.

Villa dei Vescovi is a Venetian villa located in Luvigliano, a hamlet of Torreglia (Padua). The construction dates back to the Renaissance and is inspired by a Roman domus. It can be considered the first example of the new taste for the rediscovery of Roman classicism in the hinterland of the Serenissima.

Roverello Pass in the heart of the Euganean Hills (269 m) / Province of Padua / Veneto Region The Roverello Pass lies in the heart of the Euganean Hills on the SP99 provincial road from Galzignano Terme to Fontanafredda. This pass can also be reached by taking the narrow side road south from Valico del Roccolo towards Arquà Petrarca. Thus, the pass lies on both an east-west and a north-south route through this magnificent volcanic landscape in the middle of the Po Valley. The pass is situated between the highest peak of the Euganean Hills, Monte Venda (601 m) to the north, and Monte Peraro (376 m) to the south. Near the summit, there is a small parking area with tables and benches, perfect for a short break.

Done dozens of times because it's close to home. With a loop around Boscalbo and Lonzina, convenient outdoor parking, sometimes free. PS: The shop staff are not up to par, rushed, and not at all welcoming. Replace them with kind and thorough ladies. The friars want to be friars, and rightly so.

The climb isn't excessively steep, maintaining a constant gradient. The only real downside is the asphalt, which is really buckled and uneven in some places, so you have to be especially careful when descending.

Along the abbey walls, you can follow a dirt road. It can be accessed by taking it to the left of the abbey entrance. Following it to its end, you'll reach the paved road at the foot of Mount Boscalbó in Tramonte. Along the dirt road, you'll come across a fork. Taking the left, you can reach the historic Al Capitello restaurant via a short but challenging climb (only accessible on foot). In my opinion, this section can be descended by mountain bike, taking due care.
