Isola d'Elba in mountain-bike - guida + carta 1:25.000

Plastic box containing a guide to 20 MTB tours and a specially created 1:25,000 scale map, with mountain bike circuits detected using GPS equipment and showing detailed altimetric graphs. If in the western part we find the greater differences in height and slopes with typically mountain vegetation, in the east we can see a typical Mediterranean scrub distributed on much gentler slopes. The difference in altitude is mainly attributable to the difference in geological age, which in the first case is more recent while in the second much older (about 7 million years versus 500 million years). In fact, while granite dominates in the western part, in the east we find older rocks such as jaspers, serpentine, limestone, together with iron and other mineral elements present in the very ancient mines of the island of Elba. In the central part of the island, however, the path network takes on specific traits, linked to the type of soil among holm oak, strawberry tree, stipe and cork oak trees. The surface is often smooth, without particular technical difficulties and therefore suitable for the majority of bikers.
