The best gravel rides around Carbonera

Strada delle Grentine is located in Lovadina, a hamlet of the municipality of Spresiano, in the province of Treviso. Nestled in the Venetian countryside, close to the right bank of the Piave river, this road crosses a predominantly agricultural area, where the landscape is dominated by cultivated fields, waterways, and the typical rural architecture of the Treviso plain. Thanks to reduced vehicular traffic and its proximity to other local points of interest, such as the nearby recreational area of Lago Le Bandie, the road offers a pleasant itinerary for walks and bike rides. It is a quiet area, ideal for those who wish to explore the surrounding rural territory, enjoying nature and the authentic atmosphere of the Spresiano countryside without straying far from the main road connections in the area.

The Castle of Collalto is an ancient medieval manor founded in the 12th century by the noble family of the Counts of Collalto. Strategically positioned on a hill overlooking the Piave plain, the castle soon became the hub of a vast and powerful feud. Over the centuries, the structure transformed from a military fortress into a splendid noble residence, enriched with works of art including frescoes by Pordenone. Unfortunately, its crucial position on the front line during World War I led to its almost total destruction under bombardment. Today, of the glorious original complex, the evocative ruins remain, dominated by the imposing 12th-century master tower, the defensive walls, and the nearby church of San Giorgio, which bear witness to the millennial charm of one of the most important historical sites in the Marca Trevigiana.

The first section of the Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path entering the province of Padua.

The "La Tradotta" cycle path is a suggestive 20-kilometer cycle and pedestrian route that follows the track of the old Montebelluna-Susegana military railway. The name derives from the trains that, during the Great War, transported troops and supplies towards the Piave front. The route, predominantly flat and immersed in greenery, connects Montebelluna to Nervesa della Battaglia, running along the slopes of Montello. Along the way, you will encounter the remains of old signal boxes and stations, as well as historical monuments and educational panels that recount the events of 1917-18. It is an ideal itinerary for families and history enthusiasts, offering a direct link between modern slow mobility and the memory of the Treviso territory.

Historically suggestive. A bit boring and dusty.

The Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path is an exceptional example of railway reconversion, born on the track of a 20th-century military line. With its approximately 118 kilometers, it crosses the Veneto region to Lombardy, offering a flat route immersed in greenery. The route allows you to cycle in complete safety away from cars, passing from the Parco del Sile to the vast expanses of the Po Valley. The charm of the journey is enhanced by the old stations and railway houses that dot the path, witnesses of an industrial past perfectly integrated into nature. Thanks to its well-maintained surface, it is an ideal destination for families and cycle tourists who wish to discover historic villages and river oases, concluding the itinerary at the gates of Mantua, on the banks of the Po.

Asolo is an enchanting fortified town in the province of Treviso, rich in history, art and culture, located on the top of a hill with a particular elongated shape in ridges and dominated by Monte Ricco, on which stands the medieval Rocca.

...The Treviso–Ostiglia route has something special: it's a route that carries with it the breath of history. Along the route, old abandoned stations appear, silent buildings that seem to hold the voices of those who departed or arrived there many years ago. Pedaling alongside those buildings, you almost feel like you can still hear the echoes of the trains and the lives that passed through there...
