Towards the Ostiglia. Padua, Treviso.
A new cycling path will connect Padua with Treviso within the year 2012. The path follows the already existing cycling route of the river Muson dei Sassi and an old railway route, the Treviso-Ostiglia. You will go through different landscapes: those of the last journey of St. Anthony, those of the old railway, the rural landscapes of the paduan province and the fluvial ones of the River Sile Natural Park.
Cycling the Brenta way. Trento, Bassano, Padua.
The Brenta is not only one of the most important rivers of the Alpine chain, it is also an excellent cycling connection between the cycling routes of the Trentino Alto Adige Region and those of the Veneto Region.
