Un’avventura unica con partenza da Aquileia (Udine) a Gdańsk (Danzica) in Polonia lungo un percorso di 1680km alla scoperta di un’antica via Romana.
La MMXXIV AMBER ROAD BIKERAFTING RACE è un’ultramaratona in autosufficienza in cui il percorso, tracciato lungo l’antica Amber Road, deve essere coperto in bicicletta e con il packraft. L’evento è rivolto a ciclisti esperti e di livello avanzato che si sentono altrettanto sicuri sull’acqua*. Il percorso della STRADA DELL’AMBRA ricrea l’itinerario seguito da Romani, Celti e Goti per ottenere l’ambra sulla costa baltica, il leggendario oro del nord.
MMXXIV AMBER ROAD BIKERAFTING RACE is a self-sufficient ultramarathon in which the route, marked out along the ancient Amber Road, must be covered by bike and packraft. The event is addressed to advanced and experienced cyclists who feel equally confident on the water*. The AMBER ROAD route recreates the route taken by the Romans, Celts and Goths to obtain amber on the Baltic coast – the legendary gold of the north. Ancient Itineraria, wheel ruts carved in the rocks, archaeological finds, and finally legends passed down through generations allowed us to recreate the route that ancient merchants and travelers could have taken to reach the area of today’s Gdańsk from Roman Aquileia. They used the network of Roman roads, the remains of which we found in the former Roman Empire. Further north, after crossing the Danube, they had to find their way between the Celtic oppidia and the ancient cities of the Goths. It was sometimes easier to cross the endless forests of today’s Poland by rafting down rivers. This is our vision of the Amber Road: 1,400 km to cover by bike and 280 to sail by packraft. Along the way, Alpine Cols, great European rivers, Roman roads and the wilderness of ancient Barbaricum.
