Martesana Canal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Martesana is a historic area of Lombardy, located north-east of Milan, crossed by the Martesana canal. This canal was built in 1460 at the behest of Francesco Sforza. A journey along this canal offers the opportunity to discover the history and beauty of this region. One of the most popular escape routes in the city.

Bellinzago Lombardo Locks

Highlight • Structure

It closed along the canal in the municipality of Bellinzago Lombardo. Flat and well-paved cycle path. Suitable for a ride with the family or a solo training session. You can reach Milan without ever leaving the cycle path itself which passes through numerous municipalities.

Martesana Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Nice gravel ride, from Gessate to Cremona. 95% on paved cycle paths and dirt road in the woods along the Adda. The first stretch from Cassano to Lodi is very nice, all in the woods, several single tracks with tall grass or "cycle path" but with a dirt surface. The river is almost always nearby. From Lodi to Cremona all on paved cycle path, elevated on cultivated fields and more exposed to the wind. Stops in Lodi, Pizzighettone and Cremona for visits. Return by train.

Groppello Water Wheel on the Martesana Canal

Highlight • Monument

Once you arrive in Cassano d'Adda, you can't help but admire the "rudon," a perfectly preserved and fully functional wooden wheel.
The ancient washhouse nearby is also beautiful.

Highlight • Monument

a must see if you are biking on the Martesana; you arrive in Cassano D'Adda and it is impossible not to see this huge wooden wheel with the ancient wash houses on the base.
In perfect working order.

Salto del Gatto Pond with Swans

Highlight • Lake

With the racing bike you can go not far away (from here the paths are all dirt) but you can stop on the Adda river to rest with the swans!

Martesana Canal in Inzago

Highlight • River

"The Naviglio della Martesana, also known as Naviglio Piccolo (in Lombard Navili de la Martesana or Naviliett), is one of the Milanese canals that connects Milan with the Adda river from which it receives its waters in Concesa just downstream from Trezzo sull'Adda. It received the name Martesana, for the countryside it would have crossed, by Francesco Sforza in 1457, even before the work to build it began in 1460.

[...]

Located south of the Villoresi Canal, the Naviglio della Martesana is a now no longer navigable canal 9 to 18 meters wide, 0.5 to 1 meter deep and 38.7 km long (some of which are covered). The difference in height between the incile and the Naviglio di San Marco, after passing the Conca dell'Incoronata, was 19 metres."

Cit. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naviglio_della_Martesana

The Martesana crosses Inzago in its initial section.
