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!

Small deviation of the stretch adjacent to the canal. Picnic area quite large but I must say that during the visit I found a lot of dirt, perhaps because it was Monday and the workers had not yet cleaned the reserved area.

The castle of Monticelli d'Ongina - or Rocca Pallavicino-Casali - is a fortified complex, one of the most impressive existing in the plain, located in the historic center of the municipality of Monticelli d'Ongina. Built entirely of brick, with the typical structure of Piacenza plain castles, it has a quadrangular plan with an internal courtyard, with four cylindrical towers protruding from the corners, raised above the line of the curtains.
