The National Cycle Tourism Days promoted by FIAB Italian Environment and Bicycle Federation are back in Castiglione della Pescaia with the aim of making cycling tourism known to adults and children as a form of sustainable mobility.
On Sunday 16 June, everyone will be riding their bikes for a ride to discover the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve.

Thanks to the staff of the Casa Rossa Ximenes museum, participants will be able to spend moments of relaxation immersed in nature, listening to naturalistic and historical stories and enjoying extraordinary views and animals. This activity also helps us to promote experiential tourism that links sports to nature, diversifying the opportunities offered by our territory.”
The departure of the guided tour is at 5.00 pm from the Ximenes Red House Museum to travel the ring of the Nature Reserve in a 15 km excursion with stops for observation with binoculars of hawks, ducks, pink flamingos and all the fauna that populates the natural area.

For the excursion, for a fee (€5) and with reservation required on 0564/927244, there will be the possibility of renting a bike on site.
