The best running trails around Cinisello Balsamo

The Villoresi canal takes water from the river Ticino, in the locality of Panperduto, in the municipality of Somma Lombardo. After travelling 86 kilometers, through the provinces of Milan and Monza Brianza, it flows into the river Adda in the municipality of Cassano d’Adda. Construction work began in 1881 and was completed in 1891 based on the project by Eugenio Villoresi. Originally intended exclusively for irrigation, following the crisis in crops related to silk production, the canal now allows water distribution in a plain area of approximately 85,000 hectares, through a network that totals about 3,000 kilometers. The routes, which are free of difficulties, accessible to everyone and certainly of interest, are part of the investments made to enhance the towpaths of the waterways, and are also considered a fast connection route between the various Municipalities touched by the canal.

The airport's birth dates back to the years of the First World War, when the nearby factory of Società Italiana Ernesto Breda per Costruzioni Meccaniche expanded its production to the military aircraft sector, thus creating the need for a nearby test runway. During the two wars, the airport constituted the main air defense center of the Milanese area. The airport assumed strategic importance in the post-war period, when it was used by the Regia Aeronautica as the seat of a military flight school and three fighter squadrons responsible for the air defense of Milan. In the southern sector of the airport, Breda also built a wind tunnel for testing its aircraft. The use of the airport by the Army Aviation ended in 1998 with the transfer of the last helicopter squadron. of the 3rd Air Cavalry Regiment "Aldebaran".

Parco Nord Milano is a large regional protected area that extends for about 790 hectares in the northern suburbs of the metropolitan city, representing one of the main green lungs of Europe in an urban setting. Born in the 70s as an environmental redevelopment project of old industrial areas, formerly Breda, and degraded agricultural lands, today the park touches as many as seven municipalities in the Milanese suburbs. It is a very rich ecosystem made up of large meadows, artificial wooded areas, canals, and bodies of water, ideal for sports, walks, and outdoor relaxation.

The Park has a network of trails extending over approximately 790 hectares, ideal for walking, running, and cycling. Among the most appreciated routes by AllTrails and Komoot users, the 12 km loop stands out, which crosses woods and meadows with zero elevation gain, making it accessible to everyone.
