This itinerary is packed with stops at beaches, art galleries, forests, and natural sites located in the most picturesque areas of the Po Delta Park. From south to north, you will explore the Comacchio lagoons, the famous wetlands where eels and thousands of bird species live, including the stunning pink flamingos. Inland, you can admire the historic center of Comacchio, crisscrossed by canals, with the imposing Trepponti and its museums. On the coast, thanks to the new cycle paths, you can cross Lidi di Comacchio, seven seaside resorts ideal for summer vacations. After passing Lido di Volano with its thick pine forest and the Po Nature Reserve, you reach the small Oasi di Canneviè-Porticino and Taglio della Falce, where you can take the cycle and pedestrian path in Gran Bosco della Mesola for a pleasant ride in the shade of holm oaks and along the coastal dunes of Sacca di Goro.
