T
his excursion will give you the privilege
to discover a distinctive territory
characterized by the happy combination
of different water elements: lagoon,
sea, rivers and canals, sweetly flowing
and mingling with the warm and vivid
countryside colours.

Departing from Cavallino locks (2), keep
going on via Cristo Re alongside of river
Sile (1) wiggly bends, thick with reeds and
populated with coots and mute swans, until you
reach the church of San Giovanni Battista, the
most ancient in the lower Piave area: around
it the historic centre of Jesolo developed.
Very suggestive is the “Antiche Mura”
archaeological site, conserving the remains
of the Santa Maria cathedral. From piazza
I Maggio take via Battisti and at the traffic
light turn left; ride along via Roma Sinistra for
about 3 Kms up to via Posteselle:
enter it and immerse yourself in the
relaxing countryside environment
until you come to the junction with
via Colombo. Turn left and follow the
road along Cavetta canal as far as
the centre of Cortellazzo: here is the
mouth of river Piave with its typical
fishing nets that contribute to create
an incomparable scenery. From
the little port get into via Massaua,
cross the pontoon bridge and carry
on for a km heading for Eraclea
3
Mare. Now leave behind you the extraordinary
beauty of the Venetian countryside and set out
for the coast and the green stretch of pines
surrounding the Laguna del Mort along
via dei Pioppi. Continue on via Lungomarina
and via della Pineta cycling through the heart
of Eraclea Mare (4) and the depths of its
shady pine forest, consisting of around 3.500
umbrella-shaped stone pines. Marco Aurelio
Pasti gave rise to this precious pinewood
in order to protect the reclaimed land lying
behind from stormy seas. Coming out of the
cooling pines’ shadow
go briefly along via
degli Abeti where
you come across
the “Ex-Fornace”
Environmental
Centre. Ride on
until you join a little
dirt road, follow it
alongside the left bank
of Revedoli Canal
until you’ll see a farm
on the right-hand
4
side. You are now in Torre di Fine deserving
a stop for the monumental drainage pump,
evidence of the huge reclamation work on
the surrounding marshlands. Past the bridge
in front of the pump, take via Vallesina then
merging into via Fagiana and get ready for a
stunning landscape: wide open spaces covered
with rice, corn, wheat and soybean fields,
orchards and vineyards following one another.
Flanking the Largon canal, part of the historic
“Litoranea Veneta” which linked through its
waters Venice to Trieste, you arrive to the
little village of Brian with its historic locks,
constructed with the purpose to prevent tidal
salt water from entering the river waters used
to irrigate the fields. Cycle to the right and
cross a small bridge that will lead you to a tiny
tarmac road: ride it up to the intersection with
the “statale” towards Caorle (3) (main road)
and face the last stretch of your route ending in
viale Altanea.
