Felegara: Via Francigena, Taro and cycling routes
Accommodation in Felegara
Felegara appeals to travelers who want to get to know a place through outdoor activities and specific cultural connections. These include the Via Francigena, nature along the Taro, cycling options in Felegara, as well as a memorial monument and a castle in the surrounding area. This creates clearly distinguishable focal points for an individual trip to Italy, without limiting the destination to just one type of travel.
Hiking the Via Francigena
The focus of the hiking perspective is Stage 19 of the Via Francigena from Fidenza to Fornovo. It is a 34 km hiking route. The “Variante breve per Felegara” is considered a short version of the Via Francigena stage and is associated with the code VFI-078_1. This gives you two route options of different lengths for planning your day: the 34 km-long Stage 19 and the short Variante per Felegara. The 34 kilometers provide the specific framework between Fidenza and Fornovo.
Nature along the Taro
The landscape connection to the Taro becomes apparent along the stage. The final section of the Via Francigena stage leads from Medesano into the Parco Fluviale Regionale del Taro. From the center of Felegara, follow the signs to the Parco Fluviale Regionale del Taro and then follow the Via Francigena to the riverbed of the Taro. The Parco Fluviale Regionale del Taro passes by Felegara’s botanical nature trail and offers a wide variety of nature experiences.
Explore Felegara by bike
Cycling also has a specific point of reference in Felegara. An e-bike rental service operates in Felegara; it can be used to explore the Parco del Taro and also reach the Parco Boschi di Carrega. The Ciclovia del Taro includes an MTB circuit. In addition, the cycling route can be continued along gravel and paved paths suitable for all types of bicycles. When planning a cycling trip, the road surface is a factor alongside the bicycle itself. The gravel and paved sections complement the e-bike rental service and the MTB circuit. With changing surfaces, you can therefore plan your choice of bicycle together with the route conditions.
Memorial and castle in the surrounding area
The Monumento ai Caduti di Felegara commemorates those who fell in both World Wars and was restored in 2002. The Castello di Roccalanzona, a castle, is also located in the surrounding area of Felegara.
Accommodation in the historic center
Ostello19 Massimo Tedeschi is located in the historic center of Felegara on Stage 19 of the Via Francigena (Fidenza/Fornovo) and offers 21 sleeping places. Ostello19 Massimo Tedeschi is located on the same stage as the 34 km-long hiking route between Fidenza and Fornovo.
