Parco del Mincio

Archeomincio - Itinerary n. 4

• Trail Conditions: By bike, Car
• Interest: Hystory

• Departure: Formigosa
• Arrival: Pietole di Virgilio

In its last section, when it gets nearer to the Po River, the Mincio narrows again and flows between high embankments, which actually raise its bed higher than the surrounding fields.
The current look of the territory, which clearly lost its original features, resulted however from centuries-long drainage works that made the fertile, alluvial riverside plain safe and fit for living and cultivation.
