Ferrara - Ostellato
Along the ancient riverbanks of a Po tributary
Transport methods
From Ferrara across small towns, following what once was one of the main tributaries of the Po river.
From the city proceed towards the eastern countryside, stopping by the archaeological excavations and the Roman necropolis of Voghenza. You can admire the Delizia del Belriguardo in Voghiera, with its Archaeological Museum and the beautiful Sala della Vigna, and the magnificent Delizia del Verginese in Gambulaga. Finally you will reach Ostellato, with its Museum of the Territory, where you can discover the evolution of this landscape over the centuries, and with the Anse Vallive, a striking natural oasis which is perfect for birdwatchers, with large basins of water for fishing.
