Valle del Chiese Bondo-Baitoni cycle path
<p>A mixed route of about 30 km that alternates sections of cycle/pedestrian path with sections of low-traffic road, from the banks of the Chiese river to the waters of Lake Idro</p>
<p>The track follows the course of the Chiese river, a tributary of Lake Idro, in a beautiful rural environment, now approaching, now moving away from the river. It alternates stretches of cycle/pedestrian lane with stretches of low-traffic paved roads without ever crossing state or provincial roads. It has no particularly challenging climbs or gradients and this feature makes it suitable for everyone, including children. Particularly suggestive during the spring period where it is possible to watch the spectacle of the different blooms. It starts from Pra di Bondo, then passing through the small but suggestive lake of Roncone. Then continue to Cologna, a hamlet of Pieve di Bono. At Cimego it is possible to visit the ethnographic path of Rio Caino, an open-air museum of popular tradition, while at the height of the town of Storo you can glimpse waterfalls, a suggestive walkway, and welcoming play areas perfect for enjoying a well-deserved stopover. Then a series of cornfields follow one another, until you reach the shores of Lake Idro in the locality of Baitoni. The final destination is the ideal place to relax before returning.</p>
