Meeting at Ferrara Station
We meet up with the Guidders at Piazzale della Stazione in Ferrara to set off together into the historic center wrapped in autumn colors. The start time is indicative and may vary by season: we'll share the exact time in the event's Telegram group.
11:00WATER
Ferrara city center
We cross the historic center on an easy, flat route, with golden leaves decorating the medieval streets. A great way to warm up before the more natural part of the loop.
13:00WATER
Tempio di San Cristoforo alla Certosa — lunch break
We reach the Certosa, among centuries-old trees that in this season give a spectacular foliage display: we stop here for lunch, surrounded by an atmosphere suspended between history and nature. The perfect moment to recharge before heading back.
15:30WATER
Ferrara City Walls embankment
We climb onto the embankment of the ancient walls, a scenic elevated path offering a unique view over the city and the autumn countryside around it. The golden afternoon light makes this stretch one of the most striking of the day.
17:00WATER
Return to the cars at the Station
We return to the starting point, closing our loop through the streets of Ferrara: with the Guidders we enjoy the last autumn colors of the afternoon before a final toast with a cold beer or a coke.
How do you get to Ferrara? By carpooling.
