アイクルツィオの洞窟・トップ9

Following the Adda river you reach the historic center of the town of Brivio (LC), where there are fountains to quench your thirst, trees and benches to enjoy the shade and the view. There are also bars and clubs. It is possible to enjoy the view of the tower of the Brivio castle, one of the many small pearls that distinguish the town.

Beautiful castle, it makes the town suggestive and hosts some events.

Important power station built with a construction that integrates without excessively disfiguring the entire area

The well is one of the few things that remains intact among the ruins of the Visconti Castle and it is said that one of Bernabò Visconti's daughters was thrown into it by her father because of a forbidden love affair. The castle has a rather troubled history, Bernabò Visconti himself was killed there by his nephew Gian Galeazzo. Its strategic position made it the object of fierce disputes between Federico Barbarossa, the Viscontis, the Torrianis and the Colleonis, and then it was conquered by the Count of Carmagnola who began its demolition. It's a shame that a castle with so much history to tell should perhaps be valued more.

The Alessandro Taccani hydroelectric power plant is a work of architectural art located in Trezzo sull'Adda, along the right bank of the Adda river. Founded by industrialist Cristoforo Benigno Crespi, the plant has been generating clean and sustainable energy for over a century. Every year, it produces around 60 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to the average annual consumption of 24 thousand families. Behind her, the medieval castle of Trezzo, with its 42 meter high square tower towering above it.

Close to Leonardo's famous ferry, excellent point for a break.

Adda cycle path at Brivio level. Magnificent views of the river and the castle of Brivio.

Very pretty road with three bends that descend towards the Adda and allow you to reach the cycle path (dirt at this point) that runs along the banks of the river.
