Wild swimming near Bologna

Question

Where is it possible to swim in the wild near Bologna? I'm not looking for swimming pools but something like lakes or certain river spots.

Answer 1

I don't recall of any impressive lake near Bologna; however, if you are fine with driving a little further you could find some rivers and beautiful waterfalls near the border of Tuscany.

Here are few:

Cascata di Moraduccio, ~60KM from Bologna, located in Tuscany, right at the border with Emilia-Romagna

Cascate del Golfarone, ~100KM from Bologna, in Emilia-Romagna

Cascata dell’Acquacheta, ~105KM from Bologna.

Fiume Ceno.
