カザルブッターノエドユニティのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The hydraulic junction of the Tombe Morte-Tredici Ponti constitutes the most important concentration of artificial waterways in the province of Cremona, irrigating approximately 85,000 hectares of countryside. Here the Naviglio Civico di Cremona, the Naviglio Grande Pallavicino and the Canale Vacchelli intersect, the latter pouring almost all of its flow into the Naviglio Pallavicino, the Naviglio Civico and a dozen irrigation ditches through an impressive system of locks. Finally, a spillway, built between 1968 and 1981, detaches from the junction, which discharges any excess flow from the Naviglio Civico, the Naviglio Pallavicino and the Vacchelli into the Oglio river. Two different hypotheses have been made regarding the origin of the name, the first would originate from the term tomba which is synonymous with siphon, a hydraulic element that connects two conduits. Probably some of these artifacts would have fallen into disuse, hence the adjective death. Another hypothesis is linked to the discovery of several dozen burials dating back to the late Roman era.

The intersection of these channels is very suggestive

The Naviglio Pallavicino, a historic canal in the Cremona irrigation network, crosses the agricultural landscape with its waterways and bridges. A place where history and nature meet, offering a fascinating journey through fields and ancient villages.

Crossroads between cycle paths on dirt roads, excellent signage

tour done with mtb but you can do very well

beautiful cycle path completely immersed in nature. There are also the famous "dead tombs", historic irrigation works

The Dead Tombs (also known as Le Formose) are an important hydraulic node located in the municipal area of Genivolta

The perfect town to indulge in a little refreshing break while admiring this beautiful village.
