This route, inside the Adda Park, is not only naturalistic. Along the route you can observe hydroelectric power plants, bridges, canals and hydraulic engineering works designed, in large part, by Leonardo da Vinci, therefore, we are also taking a walk through history.
For this reason I have inserted the photo of Leonardo's ferry.
Perhaps not everyone knows that the great scientist lived in close contact with the Adda for almost twenty years leaving traces of his passage in his notes. Thanks to his studies he brought about great innovations that made the stretch of the Adda that I am looking at more functional. The Imbersago ferry is precisely the result of his studies and is still used today to transport vehicles and people from one bank to the other.

Along the Adda in the footsteps of Leonardo Da Vinci.
The starting point to reach the Sanctuary can be from the Chiesina degli Alpini, a small oratory from the 17th century from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of both Ponte and the Adda Valley. The stretch of the river here clearly harks back to the memory of Leonardo Da Vinci both for the famous system of locks that allowed boats to overcome the difference in height created by the construction of the Robbiate dam and which powers the hydroelectric power plants and for the reference to the painting of the Virgin of the Rocks, whose landscape can be traced back to the stretch of river that goes from Paderno to Cornate d’Adda. You go along the river passing under the Bridge (Ponte San Michele), a marvel from the late 19th century and going along the Naviglio and the Adda canyon you arrive at the steps that lead to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Rocchetta, a place built to control the bend of the river that watches over the Adda
