The former Treviso - Ostiglia railway in the Veneto countryside was built in 1930 for military purposes and decommissioned after World War II. The tracks were never restored and over time, the route became an impressive greenway some 116 kilometres long, about 50 of which have become a beautiful cycle path. The route passes through authentic countryside, characterised by watercourses, cultivated fields, country churches, Venetian villas and nature areas.

From Treviso to Camposampiero

It starts in Treviso: an enchanting city where the canals reflect ancient frescoed palaces and where you can also admire some of the most beautiful Palladian villas.

Continue south-west through the picturesque rural landscape to Quinto di Treviso alongside the Sile and then admire the ancient Cervara mill.

In Badoere di Morgano,a short diversion takes you to the unique square that has housed workshops and craftsmen's houses for over three centuries. Take the cycle path shaded by locust, maple and oak trees forming a linear forest interrupted only by the original railway stations. Reaching the territories of Trebaseleghe and Piombino Dese, once at Camposampiero, you will admire the two medieval towers, the Venetian palaces and the suggestive Antonian sanctuaries.
