Trail Ciclamino-Taxi Rider-Mura-Bruco

Route within the Forti di Genova bike area. Departure from downtown Genoa; on Sundays, blue parking spaces are free. The route climbs toward Righi on paved road; once you reach the first forts, take the dirt road on the right that continues uphill—it has recently been improved. This brings you to Forte Fratello Minore, where the first trail, Ciclamino, begins on the left. Follow the first section, then take a nice single track on the left that leads back to the Forts’ dirt road. From there, head up to the left, and before reaching Fratello Minore, turn right to climb to the ruins of Forte Fratello Maggiore, where a view of Genoa opens up.

Descend along the ridge, heading back to take the Taxi Rider trail, one of the first built in the area. At the end of the trail, take the sheep trail on the left, which leads back to the dirt road. Here, avoid the steep concrete slope by taking the single track on the left, then climb up to just below the walls and take the trail of the same name, which is currently a bit muddy. At the end of the trail, turn left onto the asphalt and climb for a few hundred meters to reach the lower section of the Bruco, which takes you all the way to Oregina.

From here, head back on the paved road toward the center of Genoa.
