The route is always straight in the presence of water with the follow-up of this canal which supplies Milan, while crossing increasingly dense urban areas as we approach this regional capital.
After the narrow Adda Gorge, the path changes direction westward along a waterway to climb up the fertile agricultural plain grid of irrigation canals.

Description

Coming out of the church, turn right on Via Vincenzo Gioberti followed by a roundabout that crosses the SP104. Then, take the first track on the right which leads back to the canal:

  1. Continue along the canal bank (Alzaia Naviglio Martesana). The bicycle / pedestrian track follows the canal before crossing the city of Inzago, which is marked by four bridges left on the right. The canal joins another diversion canal at the entrance to Fornaci.

  2. It curves southwest across the village of Villa Fornaci, which is marked by two bridges. Pass under a large bridge (strada Padana Superiore) and continue on the left bank of the still agricultural canal until Gongonzolla and a bend of the canal in the city.

  3. After two successive changes of direction, the canal and the riverbank track runs along Via Milano before continuing along Via Kennedy, passing under the SP13, crossing the Molgora torrent and leaving on the right the village of Cassina de Pecchi (bridge and oratory). Always follow the canal on your left until you reach the Ponte del Colombirolo where the via Kennedy widens along the way and cycle/pedestrian track.

  4. Continue on the track as Via Kennedy deviates from the canal, pass under the railway line and cross Via dei Platini. The track takes the name of via Goffredo Mameli, passes under the SP121 and enters Cernusco sul Naviglio.

  5. At the first footbridge after passing under the SP121, turn right, cross the park in the direction then Via Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour and continue in the same direction with Via Fratelli Angelo e Pietro Tizzoni. In Piazza Unita in Italy, take the pedestrian crossing (arched door with open gate) to reach the destination point.
