La Scudeletta

Beautiful! You take it just beyond the central square of Barbarano and the first few metres are the hardest, with gradients of around ten per cent when you are still among the houses in the village. Then you enter the woods and the road gradually becomes less hard and for a few kilometres you advance on a very gentle and constant gradient. The best part comes at the end, when the forest is replaced by meadows and pastures and it really does feel like being in the Alps. At the end you arrive in San Giovanni in Monte truly fulfilled.
The asphalt is excellent, the bends few, the percentages never excessive. So even downhill it is a lot of fun. Moreover, in the second part of the descent, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Euganean Hills.
One of the most beautiful experiences in the area, I would only recommend paying a little attention to the traffic, which can be insidious in the section closest to the centre. Also, in winter, it is a good idea not to forget front and rear lights and the necessary caution: it is all in the shade, so there will be no shortage of fog or slippery asphalt.
