Reggio Città dei Sentieri (Reggio City of Trails)

The project

"Reggio Città dei Sentieri" (Reggio City of Trails) is a participative project of Reggio Emilia Municipality that aims to create a network of accessible trails on the entire communal territory, for a better sustainable mobility and a new way to discover the city, inside out the historic center.
The trail system of Reggio Emilia represents an important infrastructure of sustainable mobility and an "access key" to a very valuable cultural and community heritage, intended as a vessel of sociality, educational contents, experiences, direct knowledge of the surrounding environment, landscaping and restoration of legacies and local traditions.
These itineraries were defined with local communities in specific moments, called "projecting walks". These trails stretch for more than 160 kilometres along cyclable paths, country trails, and dirt roads, from the noble palaces of the city centre to the quaint villages in the countryside.

practical information

The paths are all classified as low-difficulty trails, accessible on foot, by bike and with any fitness level.
Please pay attention to possible dangers or crosswalks on roads.
