Anello Reggio Emilia Novellara Guastalla

A route that connects stretches of cycle paths with sections on minor roads crossing the plain from south to north through the 'small capitals' of the history of the Bentivoglio and Gonzaga family possessions in the province of Reggio Emilia until reaching the Po river. We cross Bagnolo in Piano, Novellara, and the evocative Valleys territory, Guastalla with its Romanesque parish churches, the Palazzo Ducale up to Lido Po at the old pontoon bridge mooring. 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, now a cycle path. After a stop at the beautiful Piazza Bentivoglio (a square of 100 meters per side) we return to Reggio Emilia via the embankment of the Crostolo stream, then minor roads to the village of Sesso and finally urban cycle paths to enter the city.
