SLOW TOURISM AT THE PO DELTA PARK

One of Europe’s most important wetlands, and Italy’s largest; an extraordinary biodiversity treasure trove and home to hundreds of animal and plant species; a real paradise for naturalists, biologists, tourists and birdwatchers, which can boast a double UNESCO recognition. We are talking about the Po Delta Park, a grandiose green area framed by centuries-old woods, pine forests and oases that alternate with precious architectural testimonies, all spread over 2 regions (Emilia Romagna and Veneto) covering an area of over 64,000 hectares.

In this magnificent setting, an International Biosphere Reserve - MAB UNESCO, you can set out to discover the treasures of the Cervia Salt Pan, or take a close up look into historical eel fishing techniques. Furthermore, how can one resist, the charm of the path between the internal canals and streams of the Comacchio valley, from which to admire the beauty of a spectacular oasis, home to a huge colony of flamingos? This is also an area where one can discover the charm of the unspoiled nature of the Bosco della Mesola, the largest woodland of the area comprising Ferrara and the Argenta Valleys. From Comacchio to Ferrara, from Cervia to Ravenna, along the cycling route of the Destra Po which cuts the area of Ferrara horizontally, or on the banks of the Lamone river from Bagnacavallo and all the way to the Adriatic Sea, there are hundreds of kilometers overlooking a land marked by an incredible network of cycling routes that wind between cities and countryside, through protected oases and valley hamlets.
