The Euganean area offers much more than only tourism, as you well know, and not least are the open air activities! Abano Terme is a thermal town renowned for its curative waters and for wellness, but it also offers a range of opportunities for sports enthusiasts in search of excitement. Cycle path and spa in the Euganean Hills, this is the AbanoRitz proposal.
Euganean Hills Cycle Ring
With the autumn solstice, the most fascinating season to explore the Euganean Hills Cycle Route officially opened. This 64 km-long cycle path winds its way between asphalted and unpaved stretches that are easy to navigate, offering the chance to admire characteristic villages, ancient monasteries, historic villas and enchanting waterways that were once the area’s main communication routes.
E2 cycle path two steps from the AbanoRitz
The E2 cycle path surrounds the Euganean Hills Regional Park, which is officially recognised as a UNESCO MAB biosphere reserve. Imagine yourself for a moment cycling along this breathtaking route, surrounded by the Euganean Hills landscape, enjoying unforgettable views. And what could be better than starting this adventure right out of the AbanoRitz?
A route full of points of interest
As soon as you leave the hotel the cycle path begins, leading you to Monteortone, passing right in front of the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Salute, which is definitely worth a visit. Continuing to the right, another practically obligatory stop is Praglia Abbey, where you can immerse yourself in the thousand-year history of these Benedictine monks. If, on the other hand, you decide to continue left after Monteortone, you will arrive at Villa Draghi with its wonderful park and the Thermalism Museum, and then discover the Catajo Castle and the evocative Battaglia Terme with its Museum of River Navigation. An adventure that takes you on an immersion in the history of these lands without neglecting the relaxation of a holiday.
