Via Romea Sanese: hiking and cycling

The Via Romea Sanese is a long-distance hiking and cycling route that passes through Pozzolatico. It is 78 kilometers long and divided into four stages.

For hiking and cycling days, it is therefore possible to distinguish between a single stage section and the complete route. The stage structure is a specific planning parameter for the route, while the total length indicates the extent of the entire route. This makes it possible to include a limited section of the route in travel planning independently of the complete course.
