Bike & Boat in the Comacchio Valleys

Some places deserve to be experienced from several points of view. The Comacchio Valleys are among them, and the Bike & Boat experience tells them by combining two complementary ways of moving: the bicycle, which follows the banks and paths suspended over the water, and the boat, which takes you where the land does not reach. The result is a fluid itinerary, in which the freedom of pedaling and the quiet of navigation alternate.

In the saddle you cross wooden walkways and long grassy banks, immersed in the colors of the lagoon; Then you board a low-impact boat that glides through the canals, approaching the fishing huts, the ancient stations and the bodies of water where herons, egrets and flamingos stop. The passage from one to the other becomes part of the story: each medium reveals a different face of the same environment, and together they restore the true measure of this water landscape. The moment of transshipment, with the bicycles loaded on board, becomes itself a small ritual that marks the day and marks the passage from one way of looking to another, from the land to the water and back to the land.

It is a day designed for those who want to discover without running, also suitable for families and those who are not experienced cyclists, because the routes are flat and the distances accessible. The guides accompany the group telling the history of the valley, the work of the fishermen, the balance of nature. You return with the feeling of having understood a territory in its entirety, moving at its own pace, light and attentive, between silence, gentle fatigue and wonder.
