To bike the Sile Greenway, it is helpful to know its route and have a guide<\/strong> of the route <\/strong>which leads from Treviso to the seaside resort of Jesolo: the Jesolo Lido and\/or the Cavallino Lido.<\/p>

The Greenway follows the course of the Sile River, which rises between Casacorba di Vedelago (TV) and Torreselle, a hamlet of Piombino Dese (PD). Its course continues to the outskirts southwest of Treviso<\/strong>, from which the itinerary starts:<\/p>

  1. The bike route starts from the Restera del Sile<\/strong>: the bank that in ancient times was used to haul, with beasts of burden, boats loaded with goods.

    Precisely, the start is the Parking Port of Fiera di Treviso<\/strong>.
    From here, taking the inner Stradella C, we come to Via Alzaia: we are on the left bank of the Sile.

    <\/li>
  2. From via towpath<\/strong> you have to continue keeping the river to the right, until you reach an area of archaeological interest that houses large mill buildings. At this point you pass under the tangential<\/strong>.

    <\/li>
  3. At the height of the\u2019Island of Villapendola<\/strong>, there is a narrow stone bridge on the right.
    After the latter, you have to turn right and then left to take the via Caps<\/strong>.

    <\/li>
  4. The path leads to the Green Lake<\/strong>, past which is visible on the right a wooden bridge leading to the Burci Cemetery<\/strong>. Wooden footbridges unravel from here: beware, you must get off your bike and walk this swampy stretch!

    <\/li>
  5. Having passed that step, we return to the embankment to reach the vicinity of Casier<\/strong>: the first town washed by the river after Treviso. The Greenway route leads to the quaint little port, adjacent to the square.

    <\/li>
  6. Just beyond that, continuing along the embankment, we come to a short section of the bike path with water on both sides. Here the landscape is embellished by numerous Venetian Villas<\/strong>, clearly visible on the shore.

    <\/li>
  7. Shortly after passing the highway bridge, there is a short stretch that forces one to leave the embankment. In fact, one must travel along the SP67<\/strong>, and then resume the bike path at Lughignano<\/strong>.

    <\/li>
  8. This resumes on dirt road to Villa Mantovani Orsetti<\/strong> and continues on asphalt to via Rivalta<\/strong>, Vicinal Street<\/strong> and finally via Belvedere<\/strong>.

    <\/li>
  9. One finds oneself at Casale sul Sile<\/strong>, where the trail crosses the river and passes on the left bank, continuing for a few kilometers in a southerly direction. This is one of the most popular sections of the Sile Greenway, thanks to bends and vegetation that make the trail very attractive.

    <\/li>
  10. The bike path reaches Musestre<\/strong>, a hamlet of Roncade. Here one encounters the Tower of Eberardo<\/strong>: what remains of a medieval castle built by Lombard hands.

    <\/li>
  11. Passing through the Oasis of Trepalade<\/strong>, the greenway route leads into the township of Pontegrandi<\/strong>: ancient mouth of the Sile River until the creation of the \u201ccut\u201d by Venetian hands in 1683.

    <\/li>
  12. After crossing the lock, the bike path enters the lagoon eaves: you have to ride a straight 11km to Caposile<\/strong>, arriving near a pontoon bridge.

    <\/li>
  13. To get to Jesolo<\/strong>, you turn right about 200m before the bridge: you take a newly built dirt road that follows the bends of the river for about 6km. This section offers a splendid view of the lagoon and ends with the remains of the ancient Caigo tower.

    <\/li>
  14. Here the bike path stops: to get to Jesolo Paese you have to ride 4 km along the ordinary roads<\/strong>.

    <\/li><\/ol>

    When you reach the center of Jesolo, cross the river on the pedestrian bridge and you will find the urban bicycle network. Following it, you will reach Jesolo Lido or Cavallino<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
