Cà Bianca in Castel San Pietro Terme – Cycling Routes, Thermal Baths and History

Cà Bianca in Castel San Pietro Terme

Cà Bianca is an industrial area in Castel San Pietro Terme and is located in the environmentally equipped production area APEA San Carlo. For travel planning, it makes sense to consider this area together with the landscapes, thermal baths and cultural sites in the municipality: the themes range from cycling connections and riverside paths to mineral water and Roman history.

Orientation and Cycling Connections

A complete renewal of the horizontal road markings was planned for some of the road markings in the Cà Bianca craft area. A public fiber-optic project also included the Cà Bianca industrial area. During the fiber-optic works, traffic on Via Cà Bianca at the intersection with Via Henry Ford was to remain possible; a complete closure was not planned, although temporary delays were possible.

The San Carlo axis is connected to a main cycle route from Castel San Pietro Terme railway station to the Cà Bianca roundabout; the section covers approximately two-thirds of the route. Cà Bianca 6 is connected to an internal cycle route of approximately 500 meters. Castel San Pietro Terme also offers several cycling-tourism routes through hills and badlands and along the Gothic Line.

A specially built, safe path for cyclists and pedestrians, approximately 15 kilometers long, connects Imola, Toscanella di Dozza and Castel San Pietro Terme along the Via Emilia. This provides different-length connections and various landscapes for individual planning.

Parks, Riverside Paths and Nature

Parco del lago Scardovi has a waterside path lined with vegetation typical of the lake surroundings, including poplars, white poplars and willows. In this setting, visitors can come into contact with domesticated and wild birds such as swans, Egyptian geese and mallards.

Parco LungoSillaro is an extensive area on the banks of the Sillaro River with large lawns as well as newly planted and native flora. It also has a signposted fitness trail with wooden training equipment.

Parco delle Terme contains numerous plants, including some centuries-old specimens, evergreen trees and well-maintained gardens.

Thermal Baths and Mineral Water

Terme di Castel San Pietro offers scientifically certified therapeutic stays for adults and children, as well as an inhalation department, a pool department and vascular treatment paths.

The properties of Castel San Pietro’s sulfurous, iron-rich and salt-bromine-iodine mineral waters have been known since the Middle Ages.

Culture and History in the Municipality

In the municipality of Castel San Pietro Terme, the Festa del Crocifisso takes place every year on the fifth Sunday of Lent. In the hamlet of Varignana, beneath the Church of San Lorenzo in Varignana, there is a three-aisled, pre-Romanesque crypt dating from the 9th century.

In the municipality of Castel San Pietro Terme, Fonte Fegatella is regarded as an original historical testimony as well as a meeting place and recreational area for residents and visitors. In the Claterna archaeological area, the name has clear Etruscan origins; the relics found there support the hypothesis of an Etruscan settlement. Under Roman rule, the site developed into a village or marketplace and eventually into a municipium.
