long-distance bike ride along the costa degli etruschi
bibbona (may)
From the sea we turn to the land. Here a national mountain-bike competition takes place in the woods of Macchia della Magona at a short distance from the sea.
Along a 56 km route the participants in the race and those who choose the "environment-friendly walk" as an alternative have the opportunity to admire an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The Macchia della Magona, a biogenetic reserve of C.N.R., includes all kinds of Mediterranean vegetation and is also an exceptional habitat for wild animals like fallow-deer, wild goats, foxes and squirrels.
Woods of Mediterranean pinetrees and broad-leaved plants, holm-oaks and corbezzoli, lentiscus and heather, maples and holms give shelter to several species of migratory birds like woodpigeons, buzzards and woodcocks.
