It's a beautiful route that takes you to Strà da Mira... only a few crossings on main roads, but all safe because they are signposted.

In Stra, the Piovego canal joins the Brenta river, at the height of the Naviglio del Brenta, an important historical waterway between Padua and Venice. The intersection is regulated by locks such as the Porte Vinciane, which allow hydraulic control and navigation, also contributing to the protection of the lagoon. This junction is part of the broader hydraulic structure of the Veneto plain, divided into high, medium and low plains. The high plain has permeable soils with deep aquifers, while the medium and low plains are characterized by finer sediments and more superficial aquifers, requiring a network of canals and reclamation works to manage the water and prevent floods.
