Water paths. A river of stories & emotions, between nature & mills

The Metropolitan City of Florence
By walk & by bike

The Municipality of Calenzano, thanks to the support of Publiacqua S.p.A., has created a water resourceenhancement path within the Travalle Park, where it runs for about 7.4 km, with three thematic paths on existing cycle paths and/or trails, white roads and a sensorial path.

Along the routes are narrative notice boards, illustrating the history of the place and the territory, and in particular the role of the resource water.

The paths connect the present agricultural areas with watercourses and related elements, such as mills, utilising the existing path and cycle path network and integrating it with the sensory path.
