The mountain bike is surely the best means to
get to know the hidden places of the Euganean
Hills, putting together the relaxing contact
with nature and an exercise that keeps you in
shape and healthy.
There are many chances to practise this sport in
the Euganian Hills; what we suggest is an
example of a possible route, suitable for every…leg!

The trail starts from the car park at the foot
of the Villa Draghi hill in Montegrotto Terme
and goes towards Cencio’s Restaurant (which you’ll
leave on the right after a slight slope of about
600 m). Here we enter a rough downhill dirt road
that bends towards the left. Cover about one
kilometre of the dirt road and you’ll find once
again the smooth asphalt as you come out for a
moment on the ring road and take the road that
goes to Turri |

The slope begins
softly and gradually becomes steeper, but
without being too worrying. After covering about
a kilometre and a half you'll reach the mountain
pass, near the Belvedere restaurant, and come before
the view of the valley that leads to
Galzignano. At the summit of the pass keep to
the right along Regazzoni Alta street.

Now a pleasant descent begins that’s about 2 km
long and that ends at a stop sign, here go to
the right towards Galzignano/Torreglia, then
continue for about 2,5 km skirting the hill
towards Torreglia until you come across the
provincial road number 98.
At this crossroad turn right towards Torreglia,
climb along the bends of a small slope less than
1 km long. The following descent is
characterized by a winding journey round a
certain amount of bends; at the bottom turn
sharply to the right and enter Volti street (then
Cogolo street), that will lead you, after about
2,5 km, to the entrance of a dirt road at the
foot of the Villa Draghi hill.
The entrance to the path is blocked, but it won’t
be difficult to step over the obstacle and start
pedalling again along this dirt road that flanks
the hill with slight ups and downs that will
take you to the main gate on the outskirts of
the Villa from which you started.
