Mountainbiken auf Sizilien

<p>A book that sets out in search of a Sicily that is still original, along paths that have remained unknown to mass tourism and that lead us to the incredible treasures made from the mixture of sun, nature, art, culture, history and cuisine. It is the result of a great love for these areas, of long hours spent over maps and history books, the search for ancient paths, combing the island in all directions, interviewing people and getting to the bottom of old myths.</p><p>The authors offer us the agony of choice between 55 routes through the areas of Agrigento, Palermo and Trapani, but also through the natural parks of the Madonie, Nebrodi and Etna. There is nothing that does not exist: Dust, sand, lava ash, paths through wild natural landscapes and small, charming villages, avoiding asphalt as much as possible. An almost endless program for anyone who wants to visit Sicily but doesn't want to do without a bike. Be it XC, all-mountain or enduro. But it's not just off-road, Alessandro and Franco have also come up with a few routes on asphalt that are also suitable for less technically experienced bike fans. And to relax a little after the exertions, there is plenty of information about the island, stories and interviews that will let you look deeper into the soul of this island.<br></p><p>"... a continent where landscapes mingle with history, where seas, forests, myths, heroes, legends and cuisine emphasise the diversity that enriches each of our excursions, each bike tour and each breath". Alessandro</p><p>"I like to think of the cyclists as knights, making their way on their steeds for one reason only, to be alive among the living".
