Rotta del Sale Bike Trail is a 249 km long bike trail in nature, starting from Cervia and ending in Venice, through the Delta Po Park in Emilia-Romagna and VenetoThe itinerary joins the traditional salt route by sea, which for centuries historical boats have travelled with their cargo of salt from the Cervia saltworks to Venice.
The cycling route passes through areas and Nature Reserves of great value, such as the Ravenna Pinewoods, the Comacchio Valleys, the Volano Oasis and the Mesola Wood, touching on the cities of Ravenna, Comacchio and Chioggia, before arriving in Venice with a bike and boat trip between Pellestrina and Lido di Venezia.
The route is divided into 3 stages:
- 1° from Cervia to Comacchio: about 98 km through pine forests and valleys
- 2° from Comacchio to Chioggia: about 115 km through valleys, lagoons, beaches, crossing the wildest part of the Delta
- 3° from Chioggia to Venice: about 36 in a mixed route between ferries and bikes
The length of the routes should not frighten you, as they are flat and not technically difficult, and can be done at a leisurely pace during the day, to enjoy the views, nature and fauna of the Delta (deer, herons, flamingos, wild horses...), even if you need to have some "saddle training".
