History and nature

A visit to the Museum of the Reclamation (further north) is however a must to understand how this land has transformed. Going south it is possible to stop at the birdwatching shed on the riverbank of Cassa Campotto. Further on, you will reach the Museum of Valli di Argenta.
Water, sky and bike

Giorgio to Casino di Campotto and the Museum of Valli di Argenta: the suggested bike itinerary follows the embankment of Cassa Bassarone and the Campotto detention basin. Approximately 6 km to enjoy the entire valley dotted with water lilies, reed beds and bulrushes. The Museum of Valli di Argenta is the point of departure of a 10-km guided itinerary to admire the landscape.
