The cycle path along the Serraglio Canal follows the waterway through the Venetian countryside, alternating between dirt and asphalt sections. A flat and pleasant route, ideal for cycling away from traffic and discovering a landscape made up of canals, cultivated fields, rows of trees, and small inhabited centers.

The Benito Daga Bridge is a cycle-pedestrian bridge located in Padua, in a strategic river area near the headquarters of Canottieri Padova (south-west area of the city). The structure is named after Benito Daga (who passed away in 1991), a respected figure in Paduan and national sports, known for being an instructor and coach for the Italian national swimming team at the Paralympics. From a logistical point of view, the bridge represents a fundamental hub for the city's sustainable mobility: it connects the riverbanks of Brusegana and Bassanello, serving as a mandatory passage for runners, walkers, and cycle tourists. It is a key point for those who travel the famous river loops of Padua or join the cycle paths leading towards the Euganean Hills and along the Brentella Canal.

Tergolandia (known as The Soul's Park) is an original open-air museum located in Bronzola di Campodarsego (Padova). Born in 2010 to combine art and nature, the park extends for about a kilometer along the cycle-pedestrian path that runs along the Tergola river. It is a completely flat route, perfect for walks and bike rides, completely free and open all year round. Its peculiarity lies in the numerous sculptures and artistic installations integrated into the environment: fantastic creatures, gnomes, witches, and dragons created by local artists using natural (such as wood) or recycled materials. Along the route, you will also find the ancient Chiesetta di Santa Maria del Panigale, making Tergolandia an ideal stop for those seeking an immersion in fairy tales, history, and the Venetian river landscape.
