One walks along the Canottieri's dock and at the end of the Via S.Maria one turns left and crosses a gate, remaining on the right side behind the house one takes a path near the fields and reaches the road sign where the Mantova-Peschiera cycle path (2.5 km) begins: once reached it, one crosses the municipal road towards Soave to take a dirt road. Following the Parcarello canal the route leads us to the bank of the artificial canal Diversivo del Mincio (km. 5). Once reached the bank one follows the asphalted path up to the bridge which on the opposite river leads us to Bosco della Fontana, an Oriented Nature Reserve managed by the Forestry Corps (km 7).
