The feel of the route
This bike circuit offers a sensory getaway between craft skills and nature, to discover an artisan coffee roaster and a driftwood furniture design house. The route takes you along little roads, between forests, rivers and a gourmet village. On one side, dive into the warm world of freshly roasted coffee, where the aromas greet you as soon as you walk in; on the other, be surprised by the creativity of a craftsman who turns the wood washed up by the currents into unique pieces of furniture. A route that combines sensory pleasure, encounters and the gentleness of travelling by bike.
