Bike ride along the Brenta
Starting from the Brenta Tourist Welcome Point in Vicolo Umbria 6, go left towards the bridge on Via Provinciale Sud, cross it and turn right onto Via Brenta. The road offers suggestive panoramic views of the river course and the lush riparian vegetation that grows abundantly along its banks, where you can admire splendid specimens of willows, acacias, and poplars.
Continue for about 3.3 km through the rural localities of Fossò, Donolato, and Bojon, until you reach the bridge over the Brenta at Campolongo Maggiore. Cross the bridge, follow the gentle descent along the tree-lined road of Via Passo for about 300 meters, and take the first exit to the right. At the fork between Via Passo and Via Monte Venda, turn right onto Via Monte Venda.
Reach the intersection with Via Ca’ Loredan, turn right and continue for about 800 meters. At the intersection, turn left onto Via Bosco di Sacco. After 450 meters, turn right onto Vicolo Umbria and continue until you reach the starting point.
