Raster Map of the cycling tourism routes

  • FROM THE CITY WALLS TO THE RICFrom the city walls to the ricver Po
Ferrara e Francolino - Km. 23.220
Only in italian version:  Map Road Book

Ferrara retains its historic walls almost complete, encircling the city in an embrace of red brick and tree-lined earthworks: one of the most impressive historic defensive systems in all Italy, showing all the most significant periods of military architecture. Studied by no less an engineer than Michaelangelo, these walls demonstrate all the defensive techniques of the 15th and 16th Centuries: historic gates, bastions, embrasures for guns and cannon. They also display the rich history of the Estense period, which brought an organised system of gardens around the city, linked to the Castle and embroidered with fishponds, plants, hedges, flower beds, fountains. Time has transformed the walls into a meeting place, a place for sport and leisure, a place to relax and to admire inside the walls the panorama of the city with its palaces, churches and gardens, and on the outside the view over the countryside towards the Po.
From the walls you can get to the Po by following the cycle track to the east to the Urban Park, leading to Francolino, where it joins the Destra Po cycleway.



  • THE RING OF WATER BURANA-DESTRA PO
Bondeno; Ferrara - km. 56.850
Only in italian version: Map Road Book

From the heart of the Estense city this circuit leads out into the Ferrarese countryside as far as Bondeno along a safe cycle path, mostly in the shade. At Bondeno the route joins the Destra Po cycleway on the Po embankment, returning to Ferrara Castle.



  • IN THE LAND OF THE GREAT RECLAMATION
Copparo, Ro, Saletta - Km. 18.740
Only in italian version: Map Road Book

From Ro our course unwinds through little villages with churches, minor roads and watercourses outlining irregular patches of countryside, an introduction to the landscape of the Great Ferrarese Land Reclamation. This route follows the cycle path that links Ro to Copparo, where it joins the Destra Po cycleway.



  • IN THE PO DELTA PARK
Gorino, Goro, Pomposa, Santa Giustina - km. 34.140
Only in italian version: Map Road Book

The route unwinds across a vast area of the Po Delta Park, characterised by ancient woodlands, pinewoods and green areas alternating with examples of art of the utmost beauty, including Pomposa Abbey, the departure point of our route. This route also connects to the Destra Po cycleway.



  • AROUND THE VALLI DI COMACCHIO
Comacchio - km. 33.620
Only in italian version: Map Road Book 

This route leaves from Comacchio and goes as far as the embankment of the river Reno. It is particularly good for those who want to link a seaside holiday with the discovery of the extraordinary natural environment of Comacchio and its lagoons.

Stellata - Pontelagoscuro km 35
Pontelagoscuro - Ro km 15
Ro - Serravalle km 25
Serravalle - Mesola km 21
Mesola - Gorino km 26
From Stellata to Gorino: km 123.810



The Destra Po Cycle Path has an outstanding route that follows the Great River for the last 132 km of its journey to the sea. It runs from Stellata di Bondeno as far as Gorino Ferrarese.
From Stellata, alongside first the Po then the Panaro, amid green and wooded riverbanks, our first stop is Bondeno, a village with a rich gastronomic tradition.
The route then returns onto the right-hand embankment of the Po, leading to Pontelagoscuro, 7 km from Ferrara. Passing Isola Bianca, a sandy island reserve emerging from the river, we reach Francolino, once a commercial port of some prominence, mentioned by Ludovico Ariosto.
Then there is Fossadalbero, then Zocca, and finally Ro Ferrarese.
Leaving Ro Ferrarese, the cycle path carries on on the Po embankment, traversing land that was reclaimed by the works of the Grande Bonifica Ferrarese to the south of Berra. Here the landscape holds a magnetic fascination because of its wide fields striped with regular canals and little roads.
At Serravalle the route leaves the Po di Venezia to follow the Po di Goro, skirting Mesola with its superb Estense Castle; a bit further on it reaches Gorino Ferrarese, where the river meets the sea.
