A beautiful view of the landscape characterises this itinerary. The path along the Oglio river is equally as fascinating, especially the part where it recesses into a deep gorge just after it flows out of the Iseo Lake.   Make sure not to miss the cultural attractions of the main towns in the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia either! The path starts from the Seriate railway station and concludes at the Palazzolo Sull'Oglio station. Coming back, take advantage of the train service or cross the Oglio River on boardwalk alongside the railway line. Follow the cycle path in the direction of the lakes that goes towards Bergamo. On the right bank, the path follows the route of the Parco del Serio up to Romano di Lombardia. From here you pass the town that is parallel to rail to reach the Oglio river, following the ancient route of the Fosso Bergamasco. Once Cividate Al Plan is reached, continue north, on the right bank of the Oglio River to reach the end, Palazzolo sull'Oglio.

DISCOVER LODI A program to explore the city of Lodi and its surroundings: a region that surprises with its rich food and wine tradition, its natural beauty, and its precious anti-consumptive and cultural heritage. It begins with the thirteenth edition of the "Le Forme del Gusto" market fair, in the evocative setting of Piazza della Vittoria in Lodi. From September 26th to 28th, dozens of stands will be dedicated to the direct sale of agri-food products from the Lodi area and Lombardy, with a dedicated space for a calendar of events: debates, events, tours, and cooking demonstrations. As in recent years, the Festival of Agri-food Excellence will also be the occasion to present two other events taking place in the following weeks, which have become a solid tourist, cultural, and entrepreneurial asset for the area: the Festival of Ethical Photography, which introduces the general public to ethically relevant content through the eyes of the world's best photographers, and the Lodi Gastronomic Festival, a journey through Lodi cuisine through themed menus presented by restaurants, osterias, and trattorias, from October 4th to December 8th. The thirty-eighth edition of the Palio di Lodi will be held on October 5th, a festival in Piazza della Vittoria that will become the setting for the characteristic wooden horse race, recognized as an Italian Heritage site for its tradition. The city's districts enliven the square with fascinating challenges of skill and speed. On November 18th and 19th, the Codogno Fair will be held. Since 1791, it has been one of the most prestigious events for all industry professionals: over 200 exhibitors, national competitions, meetings, events, and demonstrations at the heart of Lombardy's agricultural and livestock tradition. Finally, from November 22nd to November 30th, the fourth edition of the "Orfeo WEEK" will be held, an innovative and cross-disciplinary festival combining concerts, workshops, performances, and talks open to all ages, exploring great culture through music.

The Infopoint Lago d'Iseo e Franciacorta, located on the Lungolago Marconi in Iseo, is open all year round with a multilingual staff to meet all users' requests with kindness and professionalism.   The main services offered to visitors are: Tourist information and distribution of material related to the history, nature, culture, art, sports, and enogastronomy of the area, the entire province of Brescia, and the major cities of Lombardy; Distribution of maps of trails, hikes, and bicycle and pedestrian routes to discover Lake Iseo and Franciacorta; Information on transportation, road conditions, accommodation, and dining facilities; Information on events and shows in the area and province; Release and stamping of #thePassport #inLombardy; Decentralized desk of the Autorità di Bacino Lacuale dei Laghi d'Iseo, Endine e Moro. Enchanting and romantic, Lake Iseo enjoys a unique landscape of wooded mountains and striking cliffs, hills and olive groves, which frame the beautiful Monte Isola, one of the “Borghi più belli d'Italia” and Eden Award 2010. Small villages line the lakeshore between Paratico and Pisogne. Iseo concentrates the sparkling social life between Piazza Garibaldi, the castle and its churches. The medieval Torre del Vescovo (Bishop's Tower) towers in Pisogne's square. At the mouth of the road leading into Val Palot stands the 15th-century Church of the Madonna della Neve, known for its marvelous cycle of frescoes by Romanino. Mount Guglielmo (1949 m. asl) and the Erosion Pyramids (a curious geologic phenomenon) of Zone are among the natural environments to be discovered, not before strolling among Marone's most fascinating corners. To the south, the lake melts into a harmonious landscape ensemble: Franciacorta, a land of ancient traditions, villas, castles, monasteries and abbeys, vineyards and celebrated wineries where the famous Franciacorta DOCG is produced. The food and wine uniting Franciacorta and Lake Iseo is a major attraction, combining fine wines with local products. Above all, the baked tench with polenta from Clusane, the beef with oil from Rovato, and the spit from Gussago. Franciacorta bubbles cannot be missed. Competing with the Franciacorta vineyards are the olive groves that make Marone an “oil town.” The production of grappa is prized. Hospitality is widespread in hotels, campgrounds, farmhouses and B&Bs. Trattorias and restaurants are present in considerable numbers and of high quality.
