Route Description<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

A circular route in the Baraggia area of Vercelli, starting from Rovasenda, taking in stork nests, organic rice fields and historic hydraulic structures. You\u2019ll cycle through environmentally friendly farmland to the Molinia Farm, a pioneer of the \u2018Riso Secondo Natura\u2019 (Rice According to Nature) method. You\u2019ll then follow the Ravasanella dam canal and enter the woods, where you can see an operational hydroelectric power station run by the Land Reclamation Consortium. You cycle between the Baraggia Nature Reserve and a military zone, returning to Rovasenda via Cascina Nuova and Teglio. There is the option of a final visit to the medieval manor or a detour along the Fasoli Canal to see the seasonal waterfall of the Cavo Piantalino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A route combining sustainable agriculture, nature and hydraulic engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This route is easy and suitable for everyone, making it perfect for families thanks to the prevalence of quiet roads and paths surrounded by nature. This flat route is at its best during the milder seasons or in the cool morning hours, when you can fully enjoy the splendid view of the rice paddies while sheltered from the sun. To make the most of this immersion in the wild nature of the Baraggia, we recommend bringing a good supply of water and your favourite snacks: it will be the perfect opportunity for a refreshing break in complete independence, whilst relying on the facilities and hospitality you\u2019ll find in the villages of Rovasenda and Brusnengo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
