Discover the Mincio cycle/pedestrian route
The Mincio Cycle Path, stretching approximately 40 kilometers, offers a unique and fascinating experience throughout the year. Starting from the southern shores of Lake Garda, the path embraces diverse landscapes, from the glistening lake to green plains and charming historic villages, concluding in the splendid city of Mantua. This city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its historical monuments, Renaissance palaces, and well-preserved historic center. The Mincio, the river protagonist of this adventure, reveals itself slowly as you follow its winding curves, providing a journey through history, culture, and nature, offering a sense of peace that envelops every step.
The Mincio Cycle Path is much more than a simple walk or bike ride. Along the way, you can stop at one of the nearby restaurants or trattorias to savor the traditional cuisine of the area, with dishes like tortellini, risotto, and lake fish. One of the most enchanting features of this cycle path is its proximity to picturesque villages. Borghetto, with its medieval mills reflecting in the water, captures the imagination with its fairytale atmosphere. Cobbled streets and pastel-colored houses transport visitors back in time, offering a perfect stop for a photo break or a refreshing pause. The Ponte Visconteo, a short distance from Borghetto, is an extraordinary example of medieval architecture, as is Valeggio sul Mincio with its medieval castle overlooking the town, both fascinating places located nearby.
