The best running trails around Brivio

A long and very varied cycle path with diverse environments and points of interest along the route, where the initial part runs through Leonardo's Adda ecomuseum, places where Leonardo da Vinci designed and carried out several hydraulic experiments with the river. The cycle-pedestrian path winds alongside the Adda river between Cassano d’Adda and Lecco, mainly on wide dirt roads. During the route, we will have the opportunity to see monumental works and world heritage sites such as the Edison and Enel hydroelectric dams, Crespi d’Adda, the locks designed by Leonardo and his ferry, a revolutionary hydromechanical work for its time. In the final stretch, we will skirt the lakes of Olginate and Garlate and important natural areas, finally reaching the center of Lecco for a snack or a coffee.

A valuable 17th-century monument of Lombard Baroque, but also a bulwark that rises in a panoramic position overlooking the Adda Valley in Imbersago, in the province of Lecco. A perfect blend of religious devotion, commemoration of a mystical past, and immersion in lush nature, a symbol of vitality and timeless beauty. The history of the Sanctuary of Imbersago is rooted in a past of apparitions and miraculous events. It all began on May 9, 1617, when three shepherds who were grazing their flock in the woods saw a celestial figure among dazzling lights and harmonious melodies on the three large chestnut trees that stood around the Sorgente del Lupo (so named for the animals that roamed there). At that point, Pietro, one of the children, with great wonder, spotted and picked up a ripe hedgehog, an unlikely event in the middle of spring. And for all the people, this represented the prodigious sign that the Blessed Virgin wished to be honored in that very place. From here, from this miraculous vision, began the devotion to the Madonna del Bosco, also known as Madonna del Riccio, referring precisely to the miracle just narrated, or Madonna dei Miracoli di Imbersago.

spectacular view, it's one of my favorite places

the bar under the tower is great for a stop with your bike in sight (controllable) and a beer :-P

Very beautiful concrete bridge, in harmony with the environment even if very large.

The Adda cycle path begins here if taken from Imbersago.

Sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocchetta, a place of calm and peace, a visit is due.

Very beautiful location, made even more characteristic by the presence of Leonardo da Vinci's rope boat. Excellent starting point for the most beautiful bike excursions on the Adda.
