Route 01

Mantova > Sacchetta > San Benedetto

From Mantova's lakes to Po river, with Leonardo's floodgates

Mantova lakes – Mincio river – 1 floodgate – Po river
Trip duration: 2,30 hours - 30 km 

The cruise starts from Mantova lakes, where you can have a unique vision of the Virgilian town' s historical center, and reaches the “Vallazza”. It’s a humid area, created by Mincio river, of great natural interest due to its wonderful flora and fauna, and a place of communitary interest as well. Once in Governolo the visit goes through the floodgate, which permits the boat to pass the height difference between Mincio and Po rivers. The cruise goes on against the tide in the middle section of the longest italian river. The arrival is in San Benedetto Po, an ancient padan center and Polirone's millenary Benedictine abbey site. The great monastic agglomerate includes the majestic abbey church of Giulio Romano. The short cruise provides an early landing in Sacchetta.
