COMACCHIO - RAVENNA

An itinerary through the heart of the Delta del Po Park: along the Comacchio Valleys, river banks and coastal pinewoods, to reach Ravenna, the capital of Byzantine art and treasure chest to be discovered, with 8 monuments being listed as Unesco World Heritage sites. A route scheduled as part of the AdriaBike itinerary, connecting Ravenna to Kranjska Gora.

Not to be missed:
an off-road route on flat land, yet a respectable cycling experience; both for the variety of road surfaces, and the natural- environmental one.
