게렌자노 최고의 사이클링 경로

자전거를 타면서 최악의 경험이었습니다. 자전거 도로가 없고, 계속 시속 70km의 국도를 달려야 했습니다. 매우 위험합니다. 자동차만을 위한 곳입니다!!

이 비포장 도로를 달리는 것은 언제나 정말 재미있습니다!!

빌로레시 운하 자전거 도로는 롬바르디아 시골 지역을 가로지르며 엔지니어 에우제니오 빌로레시가 19세기 말에 들판에 물을 대기 위해 만든 역사적인 수로인 빌로레시 운하의 전체 구간을 따라 이어집니다. 이 운하는 솜마 롬바르도 높이에서 티치노 강에서 물을 끌어와 86km를 지나 그로펠로 근처의 아다 강으로 되돌려 보냅니다. 모든 유형의 자전거로 갈 수 있고 어린이가 있는 가족에게도 적합한 쉽고 평탄한 자전거 경로입니다. 이 지역의 자연과 풍경의 풍요로움을 알 수 있는 야외 라이딩에 이상적인 장소입니다. 빌로레시 운하 자전거 도로의 경로는 운하를 따라 85km 길이입니다. 솜마 롬바르도 시 근처에서 시작하여 카사노 다다 근처에서 끝납니다.

The city center is located on the lakefront, around the Piazza del Duomo, one of the most appreciated monuments in northern Italy. The historic center still retains the appearance of the original Roman castrum, with well-preserved medieval walls and large defense towers.

It was a late 19th-century engineer, Eugenio Villoresi, son of the director of the gardens of Villa Reale in Monza, who envisioned extending the irrigation of the fields upstream from this imaginary line. He therefore designed a long canal connecting Lake Maggiore to the Adda River, using its waters to distribute, for a fee, to all the fields between the canal and the fountain line. Obtaining the government concession and securing the project's financing was certainly no easy feat; Villoresi did not see its completion, which took place in 1890, 11 years after his death.

perfect for a leisurely bike ride

All cut, finally a nice prune

You approach the route of the former Valmorea Railway, with its disused station and enter the cycle path that heads towards the real Gurone Dam, a structure 12 metres high above the river level and 156 metres long, built between 2004 and 2009 and capable of generating a reservoir of more than a million cubic metres. The construction was necessary because this stretch of the valley has always been subject to flooding from the Olona (around 70 have been recorded since the 15th century), such as the most recent ones in 1995 and 2002. The cycle path now climbs along its embankments with an almost linear route and a gradient of almost 12%, built in this way so as not to interfere with the structure of the dam and its hydraulic characteristics. Once you reach the top, be careful on the descent. After reaching the closest point to the river, you start following the railway again, of which you can see sections of tracks in the woods. Now on the right we have the Pedemontana motorway and you cycle in one of the tunnels created during its construction. You can now reach the small public garden equipped with a rack with e-bike charging and a self-repair kit or, keeping to the left at the roundabout and crossing the provincial road, you head south. We are in the Lozza plain, which you cross on the side of the railway embankment with a long straight stretch before arriving at a narrow peninsula formed on the left by the Olona and on the right by the Selvagna stream. After crossing the stream, the path goes to the side of the provincial road to enter Castiglione Olona. On the right, the railway system of the former station opens up, where you can still see some carriages. At the crossing, keep left to continue on the cycle path, while instead you will go to the right to reach the historic village.
