The former Cocche station is located along the route of the Treviso-Ostiglia, the historic military railway, now transformed into one of the most spectacular cycle paths in the Veneto region. Situated in the territory of Vigasio, in the province of Verona, this station represented a fundamental rural hub for the transport of goods and people in the lower Veronese area. Today, the station building is an iconic stop for those travelling along the cycle path. The building retains the sober and functional style typical of early 20th-century railway infrastructure, immersed in the silence of the countryside. Its position along the green corridor of the Treviso-Ostiglia makes it a landmark for cycle tourists crossing the plain, offering a nostalgic glimpse of what was once called "the unfinished railway".

Safe routes for gravel running lovers, corroborated by unique countryside environments, poplar groves and small woods traversable via white roads and trails.

The Sanctuary of the Walnut Tree and the Sanctuary of the Vision in Camposampiero represent the spiritual heart of the Antonian Way. In this place, immersed in the green of the Po Valley, Saint Anthony spent the last period of his life in 1231, as a guest of Count Tiso. The complex stands where once stood an imposing walnut tree, among whose fronds the Saint loved to retreat for prayer and meditation. The Church of the Vision houses the cell where Anthony received the visit of the Child Jesus, an event immortalized by classical iconography. The austere architecture and the Renaissance pictorial cycles that decorate the interiors convey a sense of deep peace, attracting pilgrims seeking direct contact with the most intimate and human dimension of the Thaumaturge.

Here you can decide whether to continue towards Vicenza or follow the Brenta cycle path in the direction of Limena.

...on the way there, the late afternoon light was an unexpected gift. A soft, slanted light, capable of transforming everything. With my ever-present SLR, I captured silent ruins, meadows crisscrossed by plays of color that seemed to reflect the memory of a recently faded rainbow, bridges suspended in time...
