Car-Free Aqueduct E-Bike Tour | Acquaviva to Gioia

A car-free e-bike journey through countryside, historic towns and the Aqueduct cycling route.

A car-free e-bike journey across the quiet heart of central Puglia, following countryside roads and the historic Aqueduct cycling route from Acquaviva delle Fonti to Gioia del Colle.

The area and landscape

The experience starts in Acquaviva delle Fonti and leaves the urban environment behind within minutes. The route immediately enters open agricultural land shaped by secondary roads, cultivated fields and isolated masserie. This is inland Puglia in its most essential form, where the landscape reflects agricultural work and functional infrastructure rather than tourism. Moving toward Cassano delle Murge, the scenery opens further and becomes more luminous, marking the gradual transition into the Alta Murgia area.

The e-bike experience

This is a linear tour, not a loop. The pace is steady and accessible thanks to premium e-bikes, making the ride suitable even for people who do not cycle regularly. After Cassano delle Murge, the route joins the service roads of the Acquedotto Pugliese. Cycling along the aqueduct means following a silent, traffic-free line that has crossed Puglia for more than a century. The surface is regular, the rhythm continuous, and the landscape wide and uninterrupted. More information about the aqueduct infrastructure is available at https://www.aqp.it.

A local and human experience

The experience is built around rhythm, landscape and orientation rather than guided visits or staged attractions. A pause near the Convent of Santa Maria degli Angeli, located on an elevated position, offers a clear reading of the surrounding territory and the relationship between landscape, infrastructure and settlement. The journey ends naturally in Gioia del Colle with a relaxed aperitivo, followed by a convenient train return. The exact meeting point is communicated after booking.
