Agriturismo Corte Roeli is an ideal location for lovers of cycling excursions . You will find us in the heart of the green Bolognese countryside, adjacent to long routes, with a mixed surface of paths and asphalt roads.
The most significant route is the Ciclovia del Navile , an itinerary that runs along the banks of the canal of the same name, from the centre of Bologna to Bentivoglio and then on to Malalbergo.
This cycle path of ancient origins extends along the Navile waterway: from here in the past goods, silk and food passed between the city of Bologna and its countryside. If in the Museum of Industrial Heritage (Bologna) you can find the story of that profitable trade exchange between the city and its countryside, it is by immersing yourself in the landscape of Pianura that you will fully savour the importance of the Navile. In addition to letting you encounter ancient hydraulic artefacts, mills, villas and castles and interesting natural oases where you can take a relaxing break, the Navile Cycle Route leads you to discover the hospitality and excellent typical cuisine of the Bolognese Plain.
The cycle path starts in the direction of Bologna from Malalbergo (Fattoria Corte Roeli) continuing along the canal towards the municipality of Bentivoglio and making small detours you can reach the Oasi La Rizza and the Museum of Rural Civilization. It continues through the countryside dotted with small churches and ancient villas towards the territory of Castel Maggiore and crossing it you arrive at the Ponte di Corticella already mentioned in documents of the 13th century and dating back to 1289.
Continuing along the cycle path towards Bologna, you can admire numerous supports dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, such as the Sostegno del Torreggiani , del Landi , del Grassi , rebuilt by Vignola, and di Corticella , where the first port of Bologna was located, reachable after crossing the Ponte della Bionda .
Along the way you can also visit the Industrial Heritage Museum which documents the economic-productive history of the city and its territory from the Modern Age to the Contemporary Age. At the end of the cycle path you arrive at Porta Galliera Bologna, passing first from Porta Lame, from Sostegno della Bova and, immediately after, Parco di Villa Angeletti .
