69 – (ITA 21) – Argenta – Valli di Comacchio

We leave Argenta from the Parish Church, Via Mazzini, we continue along Via le Roiti, we cross Via Nazionale State Highway SS16 and carry on along Via Cristo, up to the embankment of the Reno, the river we have encountered at Traghetto, at the confluence with Po di Primaro. The river bank will be now our guide for this stage and the next. After 4,5 km we are at San Biagio, inside one of the few bends of the river. For a further 16 km we shall walk along the embankment, with on the left and the right luscious cultivations, typical of the reclamation works, interspaced by numerous canals, up to the next bend where we find the confluence of Provincial Highway SP10 with SP15,(leading to Alfonsine after 5 km); if we turn right on the bridge, where we might enjoy some refreshments, we can also visit the Sanctuary on Via Madonna del Bosco, or taking the parallel lane through the fields, we shall arrive at Anita (2,5 km) where we can halt in a hostel (0532 808058 / 3386777099), otherwise we continue along the embankment of the Reno and we arrive,  after  6km, to the agritourims Prato a Pozzo.
