    Hiking

    The Villoresi Canal originates from the Pan Perduto dam in Somma Lombardo from the Ticino river, crosses 27 municipalities and ends its course in the Adda river (or alternatively in the Naviglio della Martesana).
    Its design begins in 1862 and ends in 1890, long after the construction of the Navigli, nevertheless (just like the Navigli) its path intersects that of numerous other waterways such as Olona, Lambro, Trebbia and the Seveso - just to name a few.
