Tips from the Community
The “Damm der Engel” / “L'Argine degli Angeli” – is a spectacular cycling and hiking trail. It runs from Kanal Bellocchio for approx. 6 km over the water of the Comacchio Lagoon on a dam with a fine gravel surface and a width of approx. two meters. At the start, the path seems never-ending. The further you cycle into and over the lagoon, the wider and more expansive the lagoon lake becomes. Magical water reflections alternate to the right and left of the dam, and sometimes cloud formations look like they have been painted. A route where there is no room for haste; pausing and enjoying is the order of the day… Rating: particularly valuable and unique… Photos speak louder than words!

The bridge over the Bellocchio canal is practically the transition from the mainland to the Valli to complete the circular route or the path through the waters of the Valli.

A tour in the Valli di Comacchio is a tour into the realm of the flamingos. Countless colonies stay in the waters and wade through the water. From a distance, it looks as if the flamingos are walking on water. Verdict: absolutely worth seeing!
