The Castle Route: Verona and Soave

This tour blends history, sustainability, and social responsibility, as most accommodations and experiences support community-driven projects. Ride through stunning landscapes, visit ancient castles, and indulge in local flavors, all while making a positive impact.

Your journey begins at Gabanel Bike Hostel, a cozy and welcoming retreat for cyclists. After a bike check and tour briefing, enjoy a convivial dinner with fellow travelers before resting up for the adventure ahead.

On the second day, pedal along scenic canal paths toward Verona, the romantic city of Romeo and Juliet. Ride past the majestic Castelvecchio, the medieval fortress of the Scaliger dynasty, and admire the iconic Arche Scaligere and Castel San Pietro, which offers breathtaking views over the city.

After a guided tour by bike and on foot, refuel with a delicious lunch at a traditional Osteria, known for its seasonal and locally sourced dishes.

In the afternoon, continue cycling to Villa Buri, an elegant historic estate surrounded by greenery, where you’ll enjoy a peaceful evening and a delightful dinner.

The final day takes you through the serene countryside toward Soave, one of Italy’s most charming medieval villages. Along the way, stop at the Sanctuary of Madonna della Stra, a hidden gem of spirituality and history. In Soave, step back in time as you explore its perfectly preserved Scaligero Castle, perched on a hill overlooking rolling vineyards. To complete the experience, savor a wine tasting at a local winery.

A comfortable transfer will take you back to Gabanel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of a journey through history, nature, and meaningful connections.
