An easy 45 km bike ride organized by FIAB along the banks of the Po, between Occhiobello and the Mulino del Po. The route winds along both banks of the great river, offering views of towns and villages that emerge from the embankments. In Ro Ferrarese there is a stop in the floodplain to visit the Mulino del Po, a faithful working reconstruction of the ancient floating mills that inspired the famous novel by Riccardo Bacchelli. After crossing the Po, you stop for a packed lunch in the floodplain of Polesella, an area known for the river battle and the Venetian villas, with the village of Santa Maura. After lunch, the return follows the left bank of the river, completing the loop.
