ヴィッラステッローネの湖・トップ5

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.

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

A beautiful lake near La Loggia, not far from the Pò

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.

nice place for a picnic and relax in the open air
