Tips from the Community
The Città Alta is the historic and medieval heart of Bergamo, a jewel perched on a hill and entirely enclosed by the majestic Venetian Walls, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unlike the modern Città Bassa located on the plain, the upper part retains the intact charm of its cobbled streets, period buildings, and historic squares.

Any trail that winds through its vicinity is wonderful, a shame about the interruption between Zelo and Galgagnano of the path due to the hunting area, incidentally a beautiful place part of the ADDA sud Park but inexplicably in the hands of one or more private individuals who have made it their "hunting park" by fencing it all in. I happened to get inside by mistake, finding one of the numerous open gates and could no longer get out, finding the others closed, receiving a couple of shots in the air behind my back to make me understand that I was not welcome! A real shame because it interrupts the descent from Zelo towards Lodi along the Adda. Beyond the "hunting park" I believe that the passage along the river (state-owned area!!) SHOULD always be guaranteed without any ifs or buts!

The main inhabited center of Roncola is situated on a ridge at about 854 meters above sea level, near which flows the Valdimagnino loop. The remaining hamlets, including Roncola Alta, San Defendente, and Cà Maltroti, occupy the northern slope of this ridge, at altitudes ranging from 600 to over 1000 meters.

Great for gravel cycling and MTB, beautiful scenery, but be ware there are 2-3 horror parts to lookout for. Thankfuly they are only 2-3m long so they are irrelevant all over. Highly recomended for all.

In Groppello d'Adda, along the Martesana Canal, there is a large waterwheel called "el rudun." It is not a mill, but a noria that was used to raise water for irrigation. It was built in 1618 at the behest of Cardinal Federico Borromeo. It was used to irrigate the vegetable gardens and gardens of the Archbishop's Villa. Tradition attributes the design to Leonardo da Vinci. The water also fed kitchens, washhouses, and livestock watering troughs. The original wheel was dismantled in the late 19th century. The current one is a 1989 reconstruction, restored several times. It has a diameter of 11 meters and eight large blades. Today, it is a historical and educational symbol that tells the story of the area's past.

If you start the tour in the morning, near the end of the tour around 1:00 PM, it's worth stopping for a bite to eat at the Trattoria delle Querce, which is always open in all seasons, from Wednesday to Sunday, and from which on the right days you can enjoy a spectacular view.
