Cassano delle Murge → Santeramo in Colle

Stage information

Difficulty: moderate. Difficulty recorded in the catalogue.

The stage leaves Cassano delle Murge and runs almost entirely through the Bosco di Mesola, a forest of oak and pine marked by karst sinkholes and rocky ravines. Grain fields and grazing land follow before the Pineta Galietti pine wood on the approach to Santeramo in Colle. The town's Chiesa di Sant'Eligio and the 16th-century Palazzo Marchesale mark the stage end.
