Napoleonic Canal

Highlight • Structure

The works of this canal began during the French domination and ended in the sixties. The canal connects the Reno and Panaro rivers and was designed to solve the problem of flooding by directing the water into the Po. There are hydraulic machines which, even during periods of drought, take the water from the Po and carry it into the Reno.

Panfilia Forest

Highlight • Forest

This wood is a rare testimony of the forests that covered the Po Valley many centuries ago. The forest is 80 hectares large and many animals live here. You can find many species of birds and many small mammals. The trails can often be very muddy so a suitable bike is recommended.
