Located in Scorzè, along the banks of the Dese river, the Mulino Michieletto represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Venetian hydraulic civilization. An integral part of the charming Percorso dei Quattro Mulini, this historic structure evokes a past when the local economy revolved around the power of water. Although no longer operational, the building retains its architectural charm intact, with visible signs of the ancient water wheels that once ground the area's cereals. Immersed in a valuable natural setting, a short distance from the Oasi Todori, the mill is today a privileged destination for those who enjoy cycle touring or slow walks, offering an authentic and silent glimpse into the symbiosis between man and the riverine territory.

The Scaramuzza street cycle path is a fundamental piece for sustainable mobility north of Mestre, smoothly connecting the center of Zelarino with the surrounding rural and historic areas.

Thanks to a dedicated underpass, cyclists can avoid the busiest intersections, proceeding safely towards the Bosco di Mestre and the banks of the Dese river. This infrastructure is not only functional for daily commutes, but it is ideal for those seeking a flat itinerary immersed in greenery, capable of connecting the urban fabric to the cycle tourism routes towards Mogliano.

The former Badoere-Levada station is a fundamental stop on the Ostiglia-Treviso Cycle Route, located at a point where railway history meets one of the most unique architectures in the Veneto region. The structure reflects the typical style of the stations on the line, originally designed for strategic and commercial purposes, and today converted to welcome the flow of cycle tourists crossing the plain. A short distance from the route lies the famous Rotonda di Badoere, one of the most spectacular barchesse (rural mansions) in the region, which with its circular shape embraces the public space. The proximity between the former railway line and this eighteenth-century masterpiece makes the Badoere-Levada stop a perfect blend of the recovery of twentieth-century infrastructure and the enhancement of rural historical heritage.
