Lucca and Guamo MTB

Start: Departure and arrival from the church of Guamo (LU)

Start of the tour in the direction of Vorno for 300m, then turn left towards “Parole d’oro”
We cross the beautiful area of ​​the monumental Nottolini aqueduct uphill.

Climb: In 2 short points, you are forced to descend to the difficult bottom.

Near the top of hill called the “Gallonzora”, we continue left along a downhill path and then uphill until we cross a dirt road that we will follow to the right uphill for 100m. From this point we follow a panoramic path on the left on a false plane and a fairly technical downhill stretch of single trak up to a downhill dirt road that takes us to the town of San Giusto.
We take the asphalted road slightly uphill for 600m towards the village of Sant’Andrea di Compito.
Before starting the hairpin bends that lead to the town, turn right onto a dirt road that in about 3 km takes us to Prato a Sigliori.
From here climb along the dirt road towards the path of the “600” which we will always go uphill.
At the end of the path we will find ourselves on the dirt road that from Vorno climbs to Santallago.
We continue uphill to the Santallago restaurant where we also find a fountain.
We then move east towards the Bisantola fire-fighting lake.
We then take the dirt road on the right which mainly downhill leads us to Campo di Croce
From this point the steeper climb awaits us.
In fact, we head towards the summit of Monte Faeta (about 2km).

Descent:
We cross the network in a northerly direction and follow the path up to the locality of Monte del Carrara. For a stretch of about 200m the stony ground and the slope make the route rather difficult and technical.

At the crossroads we continue in a north-easterly direction along a downhill dirt road
for about 2 km. (we leave out some crossroads and go straight on) until you find a metal mesh.
We follow the path on the left.This is a path that winds downhill and short uphill stretches and a ford up to an abandoned house.We continue leaving the ruins of the house on the right, along the dirt road downhill.Always ignoring some crossroads, we continue straight until we find ourselves in front of a chapel in the pine forest. We turn left and follow the path marked with white-red signs up to the church of Coselli.
From here then on asphalt (about 2.5km) to the start point
