This moderate road cycling route offers a unique blend of cultural heritage and scenic landscapes. You will cycle past the majestic Royal Palace of Caserta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, before climbing towards the charming medieval village of Casertavecchia. The route covers 16.3 miles (26.3 km) with an elevation gain of 1347 feet (410 metres), taking about 1 hour and 22 minutes to complete. Expect engaging cycling through varied terrain, with rewarding views from the Tifatini Mountains.
When planning your ride, know that the route is mostly well-paved, ensuring a smooth experience for much of the journey. However, be prepared for some challenging segments, particularly the asphalt climb to Casertavecchia, which features gradients up to 17%. This climb requires good fitness, so consider your ability before setting out. Allow extra time if you wish to stop and explore the historical sites along the way.
This loop provides a rich tapestry of sights, blending historical significance with natural beauty. Beyond the Royal Palace and Casertavecchia, the route also takes you to San Leucio, home to its historic Royal Belvedere Silk Factory. This area, located within the Oasi Bosco di San Silvestro, offers a journey through history and scenic views that make the effort worthwhile.
