멜레티 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

밀라노-크레모나-포 운하는 밀라노를 포 강과 바다에 연결하기 위해 고안된 야심차지만 결코 완성되지 못한 수로입니다. 1941년에 시작된 이 거대한 프로젝트 중 약 13킬로미터의 초기 구간만 피치게토네까지 완성되었으며, 이 사업은 미완으로 남았습니다.

Where the Adda River joins the great Po

After all, everything you need for a gravel ride

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 Vacchelli canal is found in many routes between the areas of Lodi, Crema and Cremona, it always offers wonderful views and is bordered by cycle paths along almost its entire length.

The intersection of these channels is very suggestive

Years ago it was a road where cars could pass...now it's a cycle path, luckily because it's very tree-lined and in the summer it's completely shaded!

It is suggestive to think that the Adda crossed the whole of Lombardy before flowing into the Po
