AN20 – Ariano Island Loop [Po Delta]
Cycle-touring routes near the Ciclovia Adriatica
Isola di Ariano is an alluvial territory located within the Parco Regionale del Delta del Po, in the province of Rovigo (Veneto). Its boundaries are defined by several river branches that accompany the Po to its mouth in the Adriatic: to the north flows the Po di Venezia, to the south the Po di Goro and to the west the Po della Donzella.
The proposed itinerary is a flat loop, developed mainly along the Po embankments (cyclable especially in summer months) and on quiet rural secondary roads with almost no traffic.
At Ca' Vendramin, in the municipality of Taglio di Po, stands the fascinating Regional Land Reclamation Museum, housed in a historic pumping station.
Full details on this and the other 7 loops — history, what to see, where to stop — are in the Po Delta Loops PDF guide.
⚠️ Critical points: Taglio di Po – Ca' Vendramin (alongside the Po della Donzella there is a 500-metre stretch on provincial road SP66).
