Ponte Coperto (the Covered Bridge) in Pavia

Highlight • Bridge

The Covered Bridge connects the historic center of Pavia to Borgo Ticino. The first bridge at this point was built by order of Emperor Augustus and was replaced in the 14th century by a covered bridge. Due to the damage suffered by the Allied bombings during the Second World War, one of the arches of the fourteenth-century bridge collapsed and it was decided to demolish the entire structure. The new bridge was inaugurated in 1951; on the entrance portal on the city side, in memory of past events, a plaque was placed reading: "On the ancient passage of the cerulean Ticino, in the image of the ancient Covered Bridge, demolished by the fury of war, the Italian Republic rebuilt it".

Ticino River Embankment

Highlight • Cycleway

The "anello della lanca del Lido" is a scenic route in the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino, barely 9.08 km long. The route departs from Cascina Cantarana, runs along the banks of the Ticino River, passes the Bosco Grande and later the Lanca del Lido.
You only have the purple color if you use the overlay for mountain biking.

Scenic route through the Ticino Valley

Highlight • Cycleway

The roads that lead (or leave) to / from Pavia along the orographic right side of Ticino are so relaxing to travel by bicycle that they can almost be confused as cycle paths if it were not for the passage of some occasional car.
The environment they pass through is purely countryside, with boundless fields of corn, rice and occasional sunflower fields.
If you do not want to travel only on asphalt, the Ticino bank is full of single tracks suitable for gravel and MTB

Carbonara on the Ticino

Highlight • Settlement

Carbonara al Ticino is a municipality in the Italian province of Pavia, located in the Lombardy region. It has approximately 1,418 inhabitants and has an area of 14.78 km². This picturesque town is located in the eastern Lomellina, close to the right bank of the Ticino River. The name “Carbonara” has its origins in the ancient Sylva Carbonaria, a vast forest between the settlement and the Ticino, where charcoal was periodically produced. Carbonara's history dates back to the Lombard period, and it was once a royal fief.
