You set off from the city walls of Treviso (pick one of the car parks in the Porta San Tomaso area) and take one of the cycle paths leading to the Sile. After about 1km, the route enters the Sile cycle path (partly on tarmac, partly unpaved) and rolls all the way to Lughignano, where the return begins. You can choose to ride along the same itinerary on the way back or ride across the plain – extending between Preganziol and Treviso – along low-traffic roads and end up in the city cycle network in the final part of your ride.

NOTES:
Past Dosson, the route runs briefly near the “Pontebbana” ss. 13 and takes in a large roundabout. Watch out upon crossing the entry and exit ramps of the beltway around Treviso, although there are traffic lights.

tourist info

Treviso lies in the lower Venetian plain, in an area rich in water resources: there are numerous resurgent springs, locally known as “fontanassi”.

The main watercourse is the Sile which, due to its constant flow, was an ideal waterway for the mills (in Treviso alone there were 61 mills until the 19th century). Today, however, no mills use the river’s waters anymore; many of them survive as examples of industrial archaeology.

If you stroll in Treviso, you’ll find more than 33 fountains that were historically installed for domestic use and, as such, their use in the past was paced by the rhythms of the day.
