CA 30 – Via della Riviera [Emilia-Romagna]

The third region we cross along the Ciclovia Adriatica is Emilia-Romagna. The starting point is Goro, in the Po Delta, reachable from Veneto along the Ciclovia Adriatica, or from the train station at Codigoro, about 20 km away.

From Goro you follow quiet secondary roads, skirt the sea on a path and arrive at the entrance gate to Bosco della Mesola. If you arrive during the park's opening hours you can enter through the gate and follow this characteristic forest trail; otherwise continue on a parallel path alongside the park (Ferrara routes FE302 and FE20). Leaving the forest, you follow the FE302 on a secondary road through Volano and return to the coast near Lido di Volano — take care here.

From Lido di Volano you continue via paths and cycle lanes through all the Ferrara lidos, reaching Comacchio. Here we stand at the foot of the Valli di Comacchio, the largest complex of brackish wetlands in Italy and the most attractive area within the Po Delta Park. We cross the Valli on paths and cycle lanes, cycling along the Argine degli Angeli, surrounded by water, with the feeling of almost floating.

From here you reach Porto Corsini, where you can take the ferry to Marina di Ravenna and arrive in Ravenna entirely on cycle paths and trails, or reach Ravenna without a ferry via secondary roads, a short stretch of main road and cycle paths. From Ravenna you return to the coast on safe tracks, reaching Cervia and Cesenatico, crossing the Pineta di Classe and Milano Marittima pine forests.

From Cesenatico the route is almost entirely on cycle paths along the coast, passing through Gatteo a Mare, Rimini, Riccione and Misano Adriatico, ending at Cattolica, the last coastal town of Emilia-Romagna, along the beautiful EcoVia del Mare. There is a train station here if you wish to end your journey or travel elsewhere.

Please note: in some sections the route deviates from the Bicitalia BI6 track, following variants considered safer with fewer stretches on main roads.
