カルマニョーラの湖・トップ7

A fifteenth-century castle, much altered over time, which now presents a mix of traditional architecture and neo-Gothic modifications. It is used to host events, so it is difficult to enter and visit it up close. However, it is immersed in a beautiful setting, with a small lake in which the structure is reflected, trees, other buildings of relevance: a stunning view even from the outside. Reachable via easy dirt roads (and a paved stretch between two dirt roads...), on a cycle-tourist route, it is worth a visit.

Very nice circular route

A few steps from the historic center of Carmagnola there is a protected area of great naturalistic interest: La Lanca di San Michele, an ancient riverbed, now abandoned, which has been transformed into a beautiful wetland rich in flora and fauna typical of the river environment and the Bosco del Gerbasso where, thanks to valuable scientific work, a strip of the original Po Valley plain forest has been recreated. Inside there is a beach, picnic area, observation points and many other points of interest.

Near this lake, definitely worth visiting, you will also find a small restaurant with a terrace overlooking the body of water and where you can eat very well.

Nice compact path that passes between the two quarry lakes at the Po Morto. Pay attention to the roots.

Path that joins two stretches of dirt roads passing through the lakes of the Po Morto oxbow. It is a former agricultural track, and in many places the two tracks can still be seen. The surface is compact and quite good, just with a lot of protruding roots: all in all, it is better than many urban cycle paths. A racing bike might have some problems, but any other bike can get through it.

Artificial lake with a path that allows you to go around it

I recommend if in gravel, the short tour of the lake, the long one better if mtb or if well rubberized.
