Ring of Comacchio and the Angel's Embankment

This is a 54 kilometer circular route through the Comacchio valleys. You cycle through this natural beauty with the water surrounding you and glimpse the Adriatic Sea before entering the valleys where many water birds reside, including pink flamingos.

Depart from Comacchio and cycle towards the seaside villages: Porto Garibaldi, Lido degli Estensi and Lido di Spina. You head inland and the panorama of the Comacchio valleys opens up, wide, wild and far from the organized beaches of the lidos.

The cycle path is on the surface of the water for about seven kilometers and is a spectacle - you pedal with the sea surrounding you. And if at a certain point you hear an increasingly louder noise, don't worry, it's just the chatter of the flamingos resting on one paw in the water. In fact, this cycle path is known as the "Angels' embankment", precisely because of the wings of the many birds that reside here.

The route then takes you along a smooth asphalt road, where the wheels of your bike roll quickly. In the last ten kilometres, however, you pedal on the dirt and grassy road until you return to the starting point, Comacchio.
