Orbetello-Vulci-Marta (lago Bolsena)

1st stage of the MTB cycling trip that will take us from Orbetello, on the Tyrrhenian Sea, to Porto d'Ascoli, on the Adriatic Sea. We leave Orbetello following the bike path that crosses the bridge over the lagoon. We turn left towards Porto Ercole and enter the dirt path in the Feniglia Reserve which takes us to Ansedonia. We reach the 'Spacco della Regina' and the 'Tagliata Etrusca', then follow the sea southwards, first on the coastal path (if passable) then on the coastal road until the junction for the Capalbio campsite and 'Ultima Spiaggia'. We reach Pescia Romana, then take Strada Querciolaia which, with a long dirt section as well, takes us to Vulci. Attention!!! The dirt section is clayey, so if there has been recent rain, it becomes difficult to pass. Make sure to study an alternative route. We cross the magnificent medieval bridge leading to the Castle of Abbadia. We now continue towards Canino, pass through Tessenano, and arrive at Lake Bolsena in Capodimonte and Marta.
