The Idroscalo of Milan is a large artificial lake and public park located between the municipalities of Segrate and Peschiera Borromeo, historically known as the "sea of Milan". Born at the end of the 1920s as a seaplane base, it was later converted into a sports and recreational center. Today it represents one of the main green and leisure areas of the Metropolitan City of Milan.

The cycle path between Malaspina (San Felice) and San Bovio is an easy and flat cycle-pedestrian route, ideal for leisure and commuting, which crosses the greenery between Segrate and Peschiera Borromeo. It passes along Lake Malaspina, near the quarry lakes and the Bosco della Besozza, offering a loop of about 9-10 km. [1, 2]

The Muzza canal (61 km long in total) is a branch of the Adda River and recently celebrated its 800th anniversary, making it one of the oldest in Europe. Its name, with slight variations over the centuries, still recalls the name of the Roman Mutia family who moved here in 90 BC, initiating the first land reclamation works. From the wide canal branch off smaller watercourses which, winding through the countryside for a total length of about 1000 kilometers, are mainly intended for agricultural irrigation. The landscape of countryside and farmhouses surrounding it is evocative, with alternating rows of trees and open fields. It is also very interesting from a naturalistic point of view as it attracts many water birds that can be observed along the route.

Il Canale della Muzza is an important hydraulic work from the 12th-13th century that branches off from the Adda river in Cassano d'Adda and extends for about 39 km to Castiglione d'Adda. It is one of the oldest and largest irrigation canals in Europe, fundamental for the agriculture of the Lodi region, now also flanked by cycle paths.

Very nice tour, the return phase could be improved as, although cyclable, it runs along the provincial road Crema - Lodi. NEW: an embankment has been built with a cycle path on top from Corte Palasio to the Casellario area, running along the Adda with a small bridge over the Tormo stream. Works in progress, it must be completed but is already passable. Beautiful, scenic and shady in the woods.

The small church of San Biagio, unique in its location, in a rural hamlet almost lost in the countryside of the upper Lodi area. The entire complex can be considered, in short, a general rehearsal for Bramante. The structures, absolutely innovative for the time, highlight the engineering knowledge typical of the architect. The oratory dedicated to San Biagio (Bishop of Sebaste and martyr) has a lower parallelepiped part with three apses and an octagonal upper part, with a row of round windows and another of blind rectangular windows. It is completed by a low tower that serves as a bell tower; the entire complex is made of terracotta and retains a classical Renaissance appearance of elegance and proportions.
