Flat route along drainage roads or cycle paths. In general, these are low-traffic roads offering very interesting landscapes.
The route winds between canals often along riverbank roads.
The traffic increases from Jesolo to Lido di Jesolo (especially during the summer season), but soon thereafter, the long cycle path begins.
At Cortellazzo, we cross a pontoon bridge. Please pay attention in case of wet weather as the metal surface may be slippery.
After Eraclea, the road is constantly flanked by the cycle path.
The final section is on the Caorle lagoon as far as the Falconera harbour, passing by several typical “Casoni” (fishermen’s huts).

NOTES:
On short urban stretches, traffic may be heavy especially in summer.

tourist info

Located at the north-eastern end of the Venetian Lagoon, Caorle overlooks the upper Adriatic Sea and is home to the Caorle Lagoon, a protected natural area where special flora and fauna (e.g. orchids and red herons) can be admired. In the recent past, the Lagoon has been a privileged place for inshore fishing. Until the 1960s, the local fishermen would fish from the the so-called “Casoni” (literally, big houses), dwellings built with woven marsh reeds.

Ernest Hemingway is among the most renowned personalities to have loved this place.
