Itinerary bike route L1

Go from the Eni gas station in the direction of Partinico and Alcamo (SP17). At the end of the road go right in the direction of Alcamo and follow this road (SS113) (*) until you see the exit for Segesta (brown sign). Go right here (SP57) in the direction of Segesta and the highway. After having passed the archaeological park, follow the white signs to “Segesta stazione“. Go passed the station and underneath the highway. Take the first road on your right in the direction of Castellammare del Golfo. (Contrada Mendola). NB At this point, for about 75 meters, it’s a dirt road, so adjust your speed on the descent. Turn right at the end of the descent in the direction of Castellammare del Golfo and the SS113. Follow this road into the coastal town and turn right on the SS187 in the direction of the coast. Stay on the SS187 until you are close to Balestrate. Turn right here in the direction of Partinico and Contrada Manostalla. At the end of this climb, turn left in the direction of Partinico and the highway. Follow this road until you reach the SP17. Turn left here in the direction of Balestrate. After several hundred meters you’ll see the Eni gas station on your right.

(*) On this road you’ll see a traffic sign in front of a tunnel, indicating that cyclists are not allowed to enter. However, the local police has no problem with cyclists passing through the tunnels, so it’s okay to ride through it. We do advise you to turn on your light(s) at this point, because tunnels are not always well lit.
