The best walks and hikes around Carbonera

A bit hidden, but worth searching for ☺️

The Green Lake of Casier is a charming natural oasis located in Dosson, fortunately born from the environmental recovery of a former clay quarry. This body of water, surrounded by dense riparian vegetation, has become over time a true refuge for local biodiversity and a beloved destination for those seeking a peaceful corner just a stone's throw from Treviso. Today, the area is mainly managed for sport fishing and is frequented by families and walkers who take advantage of the shaded paths along its banks to relax or engage in outdoor activities. Together with the nearby stretch of the Sile Park, the Green Lake represents a fundamental green lung for the municipal territory, demonstrating how nature can splendidly reclaim spaces once linked to industrial activity.

Excellent place to relax between the bends of the Sile river.

L'Isola della Pescheria is the beating, scenic heart of Treviso, a small artificial islet lapped by the waters of the Cagnan Grando. Created in the mid-19th century to move the fish market from the monumental center, it today represents one of the most authentic corners of the city. In the morning, the island comes alive with the historic market, a ritual that blends the scents of the sea with the chatter of vendors under the arcades. Beyond the commercial aspect, the place enchants with its architectural beauty: it is surrounded by frescoed palaces and weeping willows that are reflected in the canal, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of nearby Venice. Walking on the wrought-iron bridges or admiring the ancient mill wheels still present nearby, one can feel Treviso's ancient bond with water. It is the ideal place for an evening aperitif, enjoying the tranquility that envelops the canals.

Dominating Piazza dei Signori, the Torre Civica represents the symbol of municipal authority and the highest point of Treviso's urban profile. Its construction dates back to the 13th century, parallel to the building of the Palazzo dei Trecento, but its current appearance is the result of important restoration work carried out between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by a massive brick structure, the tower is crowned with Ghibelline battlements and houses a bell tower that still marks the solemn moments of city life today. A large clock stands out on the facade, while at the base is the shrine dedicated to the fallen. With its 48 meters in height, it towers over the Palazzo del Podestà, testifying to centuries of Treviso's history, from medieval struggles to post-war reconstruction.

Villa Carlotta in Casier is one of the most striking residences overlooking the Sile river, located along the famous "Ramo Morto". Built in the 17th century by the Brolo-Lanza family, the villa testifies to the elegance of the Venetian nobility who chose the Treviso hinterland for their holidays. It became particularly famous at the end of the 19th century thanks to Countess Annina Morosini, who made it a center of social and cultural life. During World War II, the building played a crucial role by hosting the civil hospital of Treviso. Today the villa is a private property admired mainly from the outside along the Restera, offering an iconic view between the tranquil waters of the river and the lush vegetation of the Sile Park.

The Dante Bridge, located in Treviso at the point where the Sile receives the waters of the Cagnan, is one of the most famous and symbolic places in the city. Originally called Ponte dell'Impossibile (Bridge of the Impossible) due to construction difficulties related to the current, it owes its current name to Dante Alighieri's quote in the 9th canto of Paradiso: «dove Sile e Cagnan s'accompagna» (where Sile and Cagnan accompany each other). To celebrate the sixth centenary of the supreme poet's birth, a commemorative stele was erected next to the bridge in 1865. The area, known as "Riviera Santa Margherita", offers one of the most picturesque views of Treviso, characterized by the evocative meeting of the two rivers that defines the hydrographic and poetic identity of the historic center. Even today, it represents a fundamental stop for anyone wishing to discover the inseparable link between literature and the Treviso landscape.

The stone bridge of Villapendola represents the natural completion of the ring path that crosses the islet of the same name. This masonry structure retains a rustic and historical charm, integrating perfectly with the surrounding river landscape. Located at the eastern end of the island, the bridge spans the secondary canal, allowing visitors to rejoin the Alzaia path and the main flow of the Restera. It is a privileged observation point for admiring the riparian flora and wildlife, such as turtles and aquatic birds, that inhabit the calm waters of the dead branch of the Sile. This passage transforms a simple walk into an immersive experience, suspended between the tranquility of the island and the liveliness of the most beloved cycle-pedestrian path by the people of Treviso.
