The best MTB trails around Noventa Padovana

Tergolandia (known as The Soul's Park) is an original open-air museum located in Bronzola di Campodarsego (Padova). Born in 2010 to unite art and nature, the park extends for about a kilometer along the cycle-pedestrian path that runs alongside the Tergola river. It is an entirely 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 made by local artists using natural (like wood) or recycled materials. Along the itinerary, 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.

The historic center of Dolo is a gem of the Brenta Riviera, a place where water and history merge in a typically Venetian atmosphere. The beating heart of the town is the ancient monumental Squero from the 16th century, once a shipyard for the repair of boats that sailed up the canal, and the nearby Molini, today evocative venues overlooking the river. Strolling along the banks of Isola della Conca, you can breathe in the charm of yesteryear, with the Vincian locks that regulated the flow of water and the imposing bell tower of the Church of San Rocco dominating the panorama. The center unfolds through elegant historic palaces, small bridges, and lively squares that host markets and historic cafes, making Dolo a perfect and dynamic meeting point between the glorious past of the Serenissima and modern daily life.

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 Canal Vena is the most picturesque and vital waterway of Chioggia, often described as the city's "Grand Canal". What makes it unique are its nine bridges, each with its own history and physiognomy, connecting the side foundations and allowing passage between the alleys. The most majestic is undoubtedly the Ponte di Vigo, located at the northern end of the canal, towards the lagoon. Built of marble in 1685, it represents the monumental gateway to the city: with its imposing staircase and elegant decorations, it offers a spectacular view stretching from the canal to the nearby island of Pellestrina. The other eight bridges, such as the Ponte di San Giacomo or the Ponte Caneva, follow one another along the route, offering postcard-perfect glimpses between moored boats and historic markets. These crossings are not just architectural structures, but the beating heart of Chioggia life, where the Venetian atmosphere blends with the authenticity of the fishing village.

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.

The Brenta is the main route that connects Bassano to the sea, offering countless variants, among the main ones the intersection with the Ostiglia, the nearby connection with the Ezzelini

Great for a break
