Noce: Cycle Paths, Gardens and Remembrance Culture

Noce appeals to travelers who want to explore Bologna and its northern surroundings by bicycle, through public green spaces and at a place of remembrance. Bicipolitana Line 5 connects the center of Bologna with Trebbo; a dedicated circular route leads through Bologna’s northern outskirts via Selva di Pescarola and Noce. Via Francesco Zanardi is also home to two public gardens with different documented associations. Noce is therefore particularly interesting for choosing accommodation if you want to make these specific routes and places the starting point for planning your trip.

Cycle connections between Bologna and Trebbo

Bicipolitana Line 5 predominantly uses single-lane cycle lanes running on the roadway. Its connection extends from the center of Bologna to Trebbo. This makes the line, as a clearly described route between the city center and Trebbo, a specific reference point when choosing your location. The fact that it runs predominantly on the roadway is part of the factual classification of this cycle connection.

The Bologna Nord–Pescarola-Noce circular route

A second perspective is offered by the Bologna Nord–Pescarola-Noce circular route. It begins at the car park of Ospedale Maggiore, leads through Bologna’s northern outskirts via Selva di Pescarola and Noce, and returns via Via Zanardi. The route can be completed year-round, as no particular climatic problems are expected. Its circular nature makes planning an excursion easier: in addition to the route through Selva di Pescarola and Noce, you also take the return route via Via Zanardi into account. Since no particular climatic problems are expected, the tour can be included in your travel plans independently of any particular season.

Public gardens on Via Francesco Zanardi

Giardino Noce Capolinea is a public garden on Via Francesco Zanardi. Giardino Primo Zecchi, formerly Della Noce - Circuito, is also located on this street. Giardino Primo Zecchi is a public garden covering an area of 41,309 m². The two gardens therefore differ both in their names and in the documented information about their location: in the case of Giardino Primo Zecchi, the former name Della Noce - Circuito has also been retained.

Giardino Primo Zecchi memorial site

In the “Stazioni di Memoria” project, Giardino Primo Zecchi is the third station. It commemorates the victims of Uno Bianca and addresses the rule of law today. In addition to its location on Via Francesco Zanardi, the garden thus has a cultural and historical dimension that you can take into account when exploring Noce.

When searching for a hotel in Noce, you can decide according to the focus of your trip: the described cycle connection, the circular route, or the public gardens and memorial site on Via Francesco Zanardi.
