The Angelo Bertini Hydroelectric Power Plant is a gem of industrial archaeology located in Porto d'Adda (a hamlet of Cornate d'Adda, Monza and Brianza). Inaugurated on September 28, 1898, by the Edison group, it holds an extraordinary historical record: at the time of its construction, it was the most powerful hydroelectric power plant in Europe and the second in the world, surpassed only by that of Niagara Falls. Its original purpose was fundamental for the modernization of Milan, as it had to supply the energy necessary for the electrification of Milan's tram network, allowing for the definitive replacement of horse-drawn trams.

The Adda River is the fourth longest river in Italy (313 km) and is the main left tributary of the Po River in terms of flow rate and length. It flows entirely within the Lombardy region. It represents one of the most important watercourses in Italy from a historical, naturalistic, and economic point of view.

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.

Paderno Bridge... a blessing and a curse for commuters between the banks of the Adda River.

The Esterle hydroelectric power plant, located on the right bank of the Adda River, began operating in 1914. It is dedicated to the memory of Carlo Esterle, Edison's managing director until 1918. The building, particularly known for its beauty, is constructed in a style derived from the eclectic Lombard tradition. The meticulous ornaments, the geometric and floral motifs, the columns and capitals at the entrance, the wrought iron street lamps and the imposing Gothic-style windows make it appear more like a villa than a real industrial building.

Entrance to the Parco Nord Adda after the S. Michele Paderno d’Adda bridge. Beautiful route, just be careful after rainy days of slippery ground and the presence of many Pietro especially the initial part.
