Cycling between Walled cities and Venetian villas

Arrival in Castelfranco Veneto. Transport from airport (or other locations) on request. Check-in at the hotel and bike fitting. Typical dinner in this beautiful town, renowned as the birthplace of the famous Renaissance painter Giorgione.

First we will calmly reach Cittadella, with its beautiful walls surrounding it, famous for the highest walkway in Europe. It will be possible to visit them by walking at 15 meters above sea level. We continue pedaling in the direction of the Brenta River Park, a protected natural area along which cycling will be a pleasure. The river will lead us to Piazzola sul Brenta, a small town in the province of Padua famous for the luxurious Palladian villa that dominates its center and its square: Villa Contarini. Then we find the Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path a few steps away which will take us in the direction of Camposampiero, another very important center in the Padua area because it is the seat of the Antonian Sanctuaries. In Camposampiero we also find the cycle path which, going up north, will take us back to Castelfranco for the end of the first day. 60 km / 37 miles ↗  70 mt  ↘ 70  mt

Castelfranco Veneto and Asolo are joined by a splendid cycle path. The name recalls that of the lords who dominated these territories: the Ezzelini, the family who most of all shaped the Treviso area. The destination of our day will be the village of a hundred horizons, better known as Asolo, a walled city that dominates the plain from the top of the hill on which it is gently nestled. Return to Castelfranco expected in the late afternoon. 52 km / 32 miles ↗  280 mt  ↘  280 mt

the third stage is dedicated to Padua, the City of Sant’Antonio, of squares and porticoes, famous for Giotto's paintings in the Scrovegni Chapel and the second oldest university in Europe. Before visiting the city we will make a nice detour to reach Villa Pisani di Stra, the most famous and important Venetian villa. Along the canals that once connected the lagoon city to the hinterland and the trade exchanges between Padua and Venice, we will reach Padua to visit the city. Return to Castelfranco by train. 55 km / 34 miles ↗  60 mt  ↘  70 mt

Let’s discover Treviso: another walled city and a city of water, bathed by the Sile River, the longest resurgence watercourse in Europe. Leaving Castelfranco we will arrive at the Sources of the Sile, and then we reach the Treviso-Ostiglia cycle route. Along this cycle path and the bends of the river, lies the Cervara Oasis, a beautiful rest area dedicated to bikes passing along the cycle path and a natural oasis where many animals and birds find refuge. It will be possible to have lunch in Treviso, with the classic Venetian cicchetti. 58 km / 41 miles ↗  80 mt  ↘  80 mt
