Mountain road past Volterraio Fortress

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Wonderful panoramic route, whose pass is just below the fortress ruin Volterraio. It goes steeply in serpentine up the mountain, but you will be rewarded with a super nice downhill, during which you can enjoy a great view of the bay of Portoferaio and Monte Capanne. The enjoyment is enhanced by a very tidy asphalt without potholes (as of 6/2019).

In the western part of the island of Elba, on the road that runs around it, this point is particularly suggestive: in fact, you pedal on asphalt and overlooking the sea, along a truly magnificent stretch of coast.

Between Pomonte and Chiessi, this panoramic road offers splendid views of the sea. On the clearest days you will be able to see the islands of Capraia and Pianosa, as well as the much larger Corsica.

Porto Azzurro Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

Seaside resort in the eastern part of the island of Elba, Porto Azzurro was known in antiquity with the toponym of "Longone", perhaps due to the length of the inlet on which it stands.

Absolutely to stop for a photo, a beautiful view of the gulf of Portoferraio up to Mount Capanne. On clear days you can see all Corsica in the background!

Nice dash around the island with Monte Strega as an alpinist treat

Heute ist ein ganz besonderer Tag: David hat Geburtstag! Wie könnte man besser feiern, als mit einer Rundtour auf Elba? Da Elba eine Insel ist, und wir keine Lust auf einen Triathlon haben, starten wir unser Abenteuer mit einer Fährüberfahrt. Die Fahrscheine sind schnell besorgt, nur leider für den falschen Zielhafen. Irgendwie logisch, denn wenn wir schon kein Parkticket brauchen, …

90% bitumen, but in this period it is truly the TOP. I do not recommend in July and August. The 10% off road is part of the Capoliveri Leggend route, truly spectacular to climb Mount Calamita from the sea.

The rest of the tour around the island was, contrary to expectations, completely dry. It's amazing how fit you can feel after half a day of rest. The botany alone makes it worth the trip. Fortunately, compared to Corsica, the vertical axis was scaled with the same factor as the other two. Apparently this is also the 27th canton of …
