Discovering the lagoons
... 50 km route
Starting from Lido di Spina, drive down the coastal road towards Lido degli Estensi.
To reach Porto Garibaldi on the other hand, take the nearby Romea state road and after crossing the bridge over the canal (Porto Garibaldi-Vallette di Ostellato- Ferrara) turn right. After just a few kilometres, you will reach Comacchio, to be visited on foot or by boat. Do not leave Comacchio without seeing its scenic lagoons. The best viewpoint is from the Argine Agosta bank, to the south. Continue along the canal in the direction of Ferrara, after passing through the towns of San Giovanni, Corte Centrale and Campolungo, until Ostellato. Its Vallette (small lagoons) can be reached along a road that is rather narrow for campers. Persevere however because after about 2 kilometres, you will find a large parking area and amenities.
Along the lagoons you will find stopover points for campers.
Culture and nature
Before leaving Lido di Spina, on foot or by boat, river Delta lovers can explore the wild natural environment of the Vene di Bellocchio, a lagoon located behind the beach. Nearby Porto Garibaldi, on the other hand, is full of the exciting bustle of fishing boats with relevant fish market.
Boat trips are also on offer at Comacchio for visiting the lagoons with their old fishing houses, historic testimonies of the hard lives of the eel fishermen. This town has a very original historical centre with recently-restored 17th-18th century monuments, such as the Loggia dei Mercanti, the Portico dei Cappuccini, the Cathedral of San Cassiano and the Clock Tower.

Its houses, painted in warm natural colours, are reflected in the water of the canals, linked together by bridges, the biggest of which is the Trepponti. All things considered, Comacchio is an open-air museum. Do not fail to visit the Roman Ship museum, which houses a trading vessel of the imperial age, recovered with all its load after being trapped in the sand.
Back to nature again with the Oasis of Ostellato, three lagoons covering a freshwater area of 150 hectares, turned into a nature reserve (animals and plants such as water lilies and rushes) in the 1970s by the Provincial Administration of Ferrara. Everything here favours a delightful stop with the possibility of hiking, biking, horse-riding, boating and becoming acquainted with and enjoying the delicious local products and dishes.
