Il Molinetto della Croda, in the Lierza valley, represents one of the most evocative corners of the Marca Trevigiana. In its almost four centuries of history, the ancient mill with a stone grinder has managed to maintain its charm and enchant artists and visitors.

The Castle of Collalto is an ancient medieval manor founded in the 12th century by the noble family of the Counts of Collalto. Strategically positioned on a hill overlooking the Piave plain, the castle soon became the hub of a vast and powerful feud. Over the centuries, the structure transformed from a military fortress into a splendid noble residence, enriched with works of art including frescoes by Pordenone. Unfortunately, its crucial position on the front line during World War I led to its almost total destruction under bombardment. Today, of the glorious original complex, the evocative ruins remain, dominated by the imposing 12th-century master tower, the defensive walls, and the nearby church of San Giorgio, which bear witness to the millennial charm of one of the most important historical sites in the Marca Trevigiana.

The Ciclovia "La Tradotta" is a fascinating 18-kilometer cycle and pedestrian path that connects Montebelluna to Nervesa della Battaglia, at the foot of Montello. This flat route follows the path of a historic military railway used during the Great War to supply the Piave front. Today, the trail, immersed in greenery and almost entirely unpaved, is an ideal destination for families and gravel or trekking bike enthusiasts. Along the way, you can breathe in history thanks to old railway houses, railway relics, and underpasses decorated with period murals. Well-equipped with water fountains, the route ends near Nervesa della Battaglia, where you can explore the evocative remains of the Abbey of Sant'Eustachio or the Military Shrine, crowning the excursion with a regenerating stop at the typical agriturismos of the area.
