Riding a bicycle along the front allows you to feel strong emotions. It means experiencing and reliving World War II drama episodes in places where everything was consumed, in a collective madness that never seems to end. The Peace Bell, the Military Sanctuaries and the magnificent work of the volunteers of the Gustav Line Museum make all this possible. But biking to the sea also means enjoying the almost constant view of the river “Liris” (in this case Garigliano), passing with little effort on secondary paths of rare beauty, with the mythological image of the Nymph Marica, goddess of waters and marshes, to welcome us in her territories.

Suio
The village and the thermal baths
Suio is a hamlet of Castelforte, located on a hill (150 m above sea level) near the Garigliano river. The settlement is divided into two main districts: 'Suio Borgo', on the hill dominated by the ancient medieval castle, and 'Forma di Suio', near the river where sulphurous thermal waters flow. Of great naturalistic value is the 'Valle di Suio' locality, while 'Suio Terme' is located in the area of the Roman baths.
