Discovering the wonders of Mantua and surroundings

From the train station in Cassano d'Adda, ride along the narrow footbridge over the Muzza Canal and then turn left and take the embankment road pointing north and toward the center of Cassano. When you reach the bridge over theAdda, cross it and follow the bicycle path that descends along Via Rivolta, a little further on cross it at Località Cascate, still following the bicycle path of the same name south, at a shrine follow the bicycle path that turns left and travels along Via San Pietro Cascine, just before thevillage of the same name, turn right, still on the bike path, along Via Cascina Belvignate, and then right again onto Provincial Road 130, you find yourself back on the road to Rivolta, turn left and go downhill, after about 600 meters, just beyond the sign marking the entrance to the province of Cremona, you leave it and, at a barrier, take a path that, on the right, crosses a ditch and then skirts it, in the middle of fields, to the banks of the Adda River. Faithfully following the dirt road that runs along the riverbank to the remains of the old bridge and the Rivolta d'Adda Prehistoric Park, the trail continues on a dirt road with obvious directional signage that accompanies you to the outskirts of Lodi, you pedal through green countryside, crossing floodplain forests lapped by the waters of the'Adda and overlooking agricultural landscapes with regular geometries, punctuated by ditches and rows of vines, you soon reach the historic intake works of the Vacchelli Canal, and then continue further among the cultivated fields and floodplains bordering the river, the dirt road ends near some gravel quarries where you come out on the provincial road that joins Boffalora to Lodi then turn right and follow the bicycle path that leads to the bridge over theAdda and the historic center of Lodi where there is a turnaround and you can enjoy a well-deserved break.
