Circumnavigating an island at the mouth of a large river is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a 360° view of the wonderful delta environment. The route, which starts and ends in Porto Tolle and runs along the top of the Polesine Camerini island embankment, is a splendid route that allows visitors, especially those on bicycles, to enjoy views of the Po Delta from a privileged vantage point.

About 40 km of flat roads and little traffic, immersed in the unique natural environment of the Po Delta Park, discovering the hidden wonders of this Venetian corner with a fragile and delicate ecosystem.

Ca' Roman is an extraordinary nature reserve located on the southernmost tip of the island of Pellestrina.

The dune environment is one of the best preserved in the Upper Adriatic and the wealth of fauna is unique. Due to these naturalistic values, Ca' Roman is a Site of Community Importance (SCI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA).

Four bike routes to go into the most hidden and intimate points of this timeless naturalistic oasis and to get deeply in touch with its unspoiled nature.

The three waters' route

For those who are not yet familiar with it, Vallevecchia is an area of extraordinary natural and environmental value, one of the largest coastal dune systems in the Veneto region and the last stretch of undeveloped coastline on the northern Adriatic. The island covers approximately 900 hectares, more than half of which are used for experimental and low environmental impact production. Approximately 150 hectares consist of sandy beaches, lowland woods, coastal pine forests and newly formed wetlands.

In Bibione, there are natural areas with a high degree of biodiversity, such as Valgrande, a fishing valley considered an area of regional landscape conservation. Although privately owned, for some years Valgrande has welcomed visitors by offering eco-friendly excursions, protecting the environment and its natural balance.

Molinetto della Croda is a historical water mill from the sixteen century situated in the Lierza Valley, in the town of Refrontolo in the Treviso province. It is a typical example of rural architecture with original foundations which are set into the rocky face of the mountain - the Croda. Over time the water mill has undergone a number of extensions, to then include also the houses of the families of mill workers. Used until 1953, the mill was then abandoned until work began to restore it, renovating the structure and functioning of the old mill.

Sbarai Oasis stretches over 30 acres on the shores of Lake Santa Croce, in the Belluno region. It is an extensive wet area featuring a number of different environments related to variations in the lake's water level. It is an ideal habitat for the wintering of many species of birds like Grebes, Lapwings, Penduline tits, Grey Herons, and white Storks. The oasis is reached via an easy flat trail, along which you can admire splendid specimens of monumentally large white willows. The two rural villages next-door, Bastia and Sitran, are worth a look.

There are two cities in the province of Belluno that bear the title of the Walled Cities of Veneto: Feltre with its discreet beauty and elegance and Pieve di Cadore.

We start with Padua itself which preserves precious evidence of the city walls built starting from 1195, while the renaissance walls from the early 1500s are almost entirely preserved.
