2 Oct Route Reggio Emilia to river Po
A cycling route starting in Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
Overview
About this route
A route that stitches together stretches of cycle paths with stretches of minor roads crossing the plain from south to north in the "small capitals" of the history of the possessions of the Bentivoglio and Gonzaga families in the province of Reggio Emilia until reaching the Po river. We cross Bagnolo in Piano, Novellara and the suggestive territory of the Valleys, Guastalla with its Romanesque parish churches, the Palazzo Ducale up to the Lido Po at the old mooring of the pontoon bridge. From the Lido a floating bridge allows us to cross the Crostolo stream at the mouth of the Po and continue towards Gualtieri along the towpath which is now a cycle path. After a stop in the beautiful Piazza Bentivoglio (a square of 100 meters on each side) we return to Reggio Emilia, the embankment of the Crostolo stream, then the minor roads up to the town of Sesso and then the urban cycle paths to enter the city Percorso che ricuce tratti di piste ciclabili con tratti su viabilitĂ minore attraversando la pianura da sud a nord nelle “piccole capitali” della storia dei possedimenti dei Bentivoglio e dei Gonzaga della provincia di Reggio Emilia fino da arrivare al fiume Po. Attraversiamo Bagnolo in Piano, Novellara e il territorio suggestivo delle Valli, Guastalla con le sue pievi romaniche il Palazzo Ducale fino al Lido Po in corrispondenza del vecchio attracco del ponte di barche. Dal Lido un ponte flottante ci consente di passare il torrente Crostolo alla foce del Po e di proseguire per Gualtieri lungo la strada alzaia oggi pista ciclabile. Dopo una sosta nella bella Piazza Bentivoglio (un quadrato di 100 metri di lato) ritorniamo a Reggio Emilia l’argine del torrente Crostolo quindi la viabilitĂ minore fino all’abitato di Sesso e quindi le ciclabili urbane per entrare in cittĂ
