Preferred route, because it is a private area after the 2024 flood, therefore dangerous to traverse because there are ongoing works.
There is a risk that at some point you will have to turn back.
We were lucky 😁😍

Campotto Valleys

Highlight • Natural

The Campotto Valleys immersed in the regional park of the Po delta (Emilia Romagna) are a quiet place for excursions, not always free to access, in the midst of nature, as well as a field where you can practice sport fishing.

Vallesanta Pumping Station

Highlight • Monument

It was inaugurated in 1924, in the presence of King Vittorio Emanuele, as the final act of the long reclamation work in the Bolognese plain, carried out "per capmata" and lasting more than a century. The engine room is stunning. The same plants that Vittorio Emanuele saw in 1924: six "Franco Tosi" pumps with three-phase synchronous power supply, the prehistory of contemporary electricity. Level measurements, in the basins downstream and upstream of the dewatering pump, still take place using a refined pulley mechanism, where everything seems ninety years old.
