At
Peschiera
del
Garda
,
the
water
of
Lake
Garda
leaves
the
lake
.
It
becomes
a
green
river
,
the
Mincio
.
A
flat
bike
path
starts
here
.
It
goes
south
to
Mantua
.
The
path
is
more
than
forty
kilometres
long
.
It
is
easy
,
and
there
are
no
big
hills
.
Workers
finished
it
in
2006
.
There
are
no
cars
,
so
families
and
children
ride
here
too
.
After
about
eleven
kilometres
,
you
come
to
Borghetto
.
It
is
a
tiny
village
with
old
water
mills
.
A
long
stone
bridge
crosses
the
river
here
.
A
Duke
of
Milan
started
it
in
1393
.
He
wanted
to
take
the
river
away
from
Mantua
.
Stop
for
lunch
in
Valeggio
sul
Mincio
,
on
the
hill
above
Borghetto
.
Then
ride
on
through
green
fields
.
Birds
stand
in
the
water
and
wait
for
fish
.
The
river
is
slow
and
quiet
.
Near
the
end
,
the
river
grows
wide
.
It
makes
three
lakes
around
Mantua
.
An
engineer
made
these
lakes
in
1190
.
They
kept
the
city
safe
.
Across
the
water
,
you
see
the
domes
and
towers
of
Mantua
.
In
Mantua
,
take
the
train
back
.
You
change
trains
in
Verona
.
In
the
evening
,
you
are
at
Peschiera
again
.
Your
ride
ends
where
the
green
river
leaves
the
lake
.
