Olive and Orange Groves Trail in Parco Nazionale del Gargano

Below Mattinata and Monte Saraceno, this road unravels along the coast between olive groves. Charming and shaded, it is perfect for cycling or walking away from traffic.

Vieste Historic Center and Seafront

Highlight • Historical Site

Vieste was an ideal destination after the transfer stage from Montevarchi and the departure by bike from Lesina.
We also found the historic center interesting, rich in culture and history. Among the intricate and characteristic streets is the cathedral, with its beautiful bell tower and the Frederick's castle, from which you can admire the Pizzomunno, a limestone monolith, symbol of the city of Vieste, on the Scialara beach from above.

Pizzomunno Rock, Vieste Beach

Highlight • Natural Monument

Pizzomunno is an immense monolith, 25 meters high of limestone. The legend of Pizzomunno goes like this: Pizzomunno is a young man who lived in Vieste when it was still a small village. He meets a girl named Cristalda and the two young people fall in love. Once on a boat fishing, Pizzomunno is surrounded by mermaids and they ask him to become their king. In love with Cristalda, Pizzomunno refuses their request. One evening on the beach, the two lovers are walking. The mermaids see them and, enraged with jealousy, attack Cristalda and drag her to the bottom of the sea. Pizzomunno searches for her following the voice. The next day the fishermen find Pizzomunno's body petrified on the white cliff with pain. Pizzomunno has become the symbol of Vieste.

Old Closed Road to Vieste

Highlight • Trail

Only a few places still have asphalt. Should only be ridden with a mountain bike or at most a gravel bike and, if possible, uphill.
