The Italian section of the Via Romea Francigena (full name), largely corresponds to the European long-distance cycle route EuroVelo 5. The route presented here, however, is only one variant to enter the historic pilgrimage route in the northwest of Italy.

As with many long-distance cycle routes, the route varies in terms of road type: only in a few sections do you travel entirely on developed cycle paths, most of the time it is rather 2nd order roads with more or less heavy traffic. It is therefore important to be careful and attentive at all times.Start
