About this trip
Explore the Po river delta and its canals and lagoons
Running from west to east, the Po River has created its own valley running across northern Italy. This valley is both a physical and a metaphysical space that contains one of the largest agricultural areas in all of Europe. The Po Delta has evolved over the centuries and therefore has also changed the Adriatic coastline between Venice (in the Veneto region) and Ravenna (in the Emilia Romagna region). That stretch of coastline is approximately 96.5 km (60 miles) long. Parks and natural preserves keep the landscape intact and the fauna protected.
One of the descriptions of the Po Delta is: “the youngest landscape of Italy.” It is, in fact, a landscape that has been created by reclaiming land, building canals, and managing to keep the Adriatic water from infiltrating inland and putting cultivations at risk. It’s a complex system of hydraulic engineering applied to a large area that on one side grants fertile farmland (rice, corn, sugar beet, vegetables, and fruit) and, on the other hand, creates an incredible patchwork of canals and lagoons that make traveling by boat just as efficient (or even more efficient) than moving by land.
We feel that this landscape offers cycle tourism that cannot be found anywhere else in Italy. It looks plain, but in reality, it is complex. Stop on a ridge to spot the sea level several feet above the farmland.
