The Naviglio Martesana is perhaps the most used cycle path by the Milanese who want to leave the city in an easterly direction. In fact, this already allows just outside Vimodrone to find large green and relaxing spaces with picturesque arches and corners. For the more adventurous and adventurous, continuing along the canal and then along the Adda river, you can get to the gates of the city and Lake Lecco. The cycle path reaches a length of over 65 km for one way

Martesana Canal

Carlo Esterle Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The family cycle path, well paved and substantially level, with lots of restaurants overlooking the river is worth a visit. Towards the central social cooperative with tavolacci, sliced cheeses and polenta. But for more adventurous routes (sometimes with real all mountain bikes) you just have to cross the river and go backwards to find yourself immersed in stony and steep paths especially from the initial side of Paderno. The final stretch towards Trezzo is surrounded by greenery. Giro the latter I repeat not suitable for families but for skilled drivers with suitable means.

Taccani Hydroelectric Power Plant and Trezzo Castle Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

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.
