Bike tour to Massaciuccoli lake - INTERMEDIATE
BIKE TRIP TO THE OASIS OF MASSACIUCCOLI FROM LUCCA ON DIRT ROADS
The LIPU Oasis of Massaciuccoli is an oasis of peace and biodiversity on the eastern shore of Lake Massaciuccoli, one of the most beautiful places in Italy for birdwatching, and is home to many species in all seasons. The natural path, which can be traveled on foot, consists of a wooden walkway built on stilts for a length of about 700 meters. Overall, the tour to Massaciuccoli represents an excellent outdoor experience, both for the environmental beauties that are crossed by bicycle, mainly on dirt, flat and well-maintained roads, and for the possibility of trying the walk in the wet area, and for the the visit to the Roman ruins of Massaciuccoli. The return is possible either on a flat road or by climbing the hill behind the oasis, from which you have breathtaking views of the lake to the coast. Those who are tired can decide to take the local train just 4 km from the oasis to return to Lucca.

The "Altopiano delle Pizzorne" consists of the first mountains of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines north of Lucca and reaches an altitude of about 900m. Thanks to the cycle path along the Serchio river it is possible to reach the bases of the plateau on a dirt road. Up to 300-400m of altitude they look like the typical Tuscan hills, rich in vineyards, olive groves and farms, and then become wooded and real mountains to climb.
