The Mincio cycle route – a significant part of the Sun Route (Eurovelo 7, Bicitalia 1) – follows the river from its source to Peschiera del Garda, where it is the southern emissary of Lake Garda, through Mantua, where it forms the lakes surrounding the city in a naturalistic area of outstanding beauty, until it joins the Po near Governolo, in the province of Mantua.

This description divides the Mincio cycle route into two stages from Ostiglia, preceded by one section on the left bank of the Po until Governolo:

1.      Ostiglia to Mantua (39 km);

2.      Mantua to Peschiera del Garda (43 km).
