Tips from the Community
The Benito Daga Bridge is a cycle-pedestrian bridge located in Padua, in a strategic river area near the headquarters of Canottieri Padova (south-west area of the city). The structure is named after Benito Daga (who passed away in 1991), a respected figure in Paduan and national sports, known for being an instructor and coach for the Italian national swimming team at the Paralympics. From a logistical point of view, the bridge represents a fundamental hub for the city's sustainable mobility: it connects the riverbanks of Brusegana and Bassanello, serving as a mandatory passage for runners, walkers, and cycle tourists. It is a key point for those who travel the famous river loops of Padua or join the cycle paths leading towards the Euganean Hills and along the Brentella Canal.

Tergolandia (known as The Soul's Park) is an original open-air museum located in Bronzola di Campodarsego (Padova). Born in 2010 to combine art and nature, the park extends for about a kilometer along the cycle-pedestrian path that runs along the Tergola river. It is a completely flat route, perfect for walks and bike rides, completely free and open all year round. Its peculiarity lies in the numerous sculptures and artistic installations integrated into the environment: fantastic creatures, gnomes, witches, and dragons created by local artists using natural (such as wood) or recycled materials. Along the route, you will also find the ancient Chiesetta di Santa Maria del Panigale, making Tergolandia an ideal stop for those seeking an immersion in fairy tales, history, and the Venetian river landscape.

Tergolandia, a "art and nature" park about 1 km long, with artistic installations made from recycled materials and the small church of Santa Maria in Campanigalli/Panigale, of early medieval origin. You will find various benches and a small fountain near the church.

Certosa di Vigodarzere: historic place but not visitable inside. N.B.: it is probable that in the passage next to the Certosa, which is NOT FORBIDDEN and is part of the cycle route, you will find a gentleman who comes out of the Certosa and starts saying that the property is his, that you cannot pass, that it is forbidden and he has put up the signs... WELL DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM. Be respectful and pass calmly.

It's a beautiful route that takes you to Strà da Mira... only a few crossings on main roads, but all safe because they are signposted.
