The third itinerary along the Po starts from Ferrara. In the history
of this town the water has a huge importance, not only for the
presence of the river, but also for the network of canals
surrounding the country. From the extraordinary ramparts surrounding
the town, used by cyclists as a cycle track, it will be possible to
appreciate the famous “addizione erculea”, spendid example of
Reinassance city planning. In the following days you will find
yourself in the peculiar habitat of the delta of the river Po, among
the typical “casoni” (fishing houses), the ponds crowded with herons
and other aquatic birds, the old fishing boats; in front of you, the
charming sight of the lagoon. After two nights spent in ancient
Italian “villas”, grandly restored, in an magical atmosphere, in the
last two days you are going to cycle near the open sea through the
extraordinary pine woods around Ravenna, our final destination where
we recommend to visit the world
famous Byzantine Mosaics.
