A 2019 art installation by Giuseppe "Giupi" Boles: a large "window" framing sunsets over the Po. It is located in the Lido Po Park, in the floodplain area facing the city: a perfect resting point for those cycling along the riverbank, with an open view of the river, floodplains, and riparian forests. In summer, the "La Baia" bar is open just a few dozen meters away; there is parking and access to the trails of the Golena del Po Intermunicipal Park.

This oversized bench was the first Big Bench installed along the Po River, inaugurated in 2021 within the Po and Morbasco Park. Painted in red and gray, it harks back to Cremona tradition. Approximately two meters high and four meters wide, it invites you to stop for a unique break, take a photo, or simply observe the great river from a different perspective. A rubber mat at the base makes the space safe and playful for both adults and children. Not far from the bench is a fresh water fountain for refilling water bottles during your break.

Smooth and very pleasant gravel road

In the small hamlet of Sonarolo Monasterolo, there is a hostel in the former rectory. There are single and double rooms, as well as a dormitory for groups. Advance reservations are required. By chance, there were women there who welcomed us and very hospitably provided us with water. So we were able to drink tea and rest in the small dining room. They apparently serve breakfast, but we don't know whether you can cook your own meals or whether they serve food. It would certainly be a very quiet place for one or more nights, about 30 km east of Cremona. https://www.ostellolacanonica.it/

One of the many small nature reserves along the trail. We even saw turtles from a distance, but they quickly dived away as we approached. They would have been easier to observe if we had lingered behind the wooden wall for a while. There's also a table and bench for a rest. The path is probably quite overgrown in summer.

This detailed metal sundial stands at a specific location on a meridian. Unfortunately, we couldn't understand the Italian description.
