The start is at the historical centre of Santarcangelo.
Leaving the central square and going towards the stadium, you arrive at the first roundabout which you simply cross and continue straight on.
At the second roundabout, turn left, then right at the third roundabout and continue straight on until you get to a dirt road on your right. After the gate, the actual off-roads part of the tour begins. Take the path on the banks of the river and continue along towards the hills keeping the river on your left hand side until you get to Ponte Verucchio.
The path is ideal for short stops to observe the geological characteristics and the water fowls populating the river. From Ponte Verucchio you might also choose to visit the fortresses of Verucchio, Torriana and Montebello. From Ponte Verucchio you return on the bike path on the right bank of the Marecchia until you get back to your starting point.
