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.

Built in 1518 under the direction of the podestà Paolo Nani, Porta San Tommaso is the most imposing of Treviso's three 16th-century gates. Probably designed by Fra’ Giovanni Giocondo, it is distinguished by its lavish Istrian stone facade, conceived more as a Renaissance triumphal arch than a simple military structure. The external facade is richly decorated with trophies, coats of arms, and the monumental Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of Venetian rule. A curious detail concerns the statue placed on top: it depicts Saint Paul, a tribute to the podestà Nani (Paolo), although the gate takes its name from the nearby church dedicated to Saint Thomas Becket. Inside, the structure preserves the large arches that once housed the guardrooms and drawbridge mechanisms, still representing today the main access point for those coming from the north.

"...He spoke of the Tradotta as one would speak of something truly familiar. A railway built in wartime, for military needs. A fragile line, rebuilt several times, marked by events. Then, years later, reused to serve a local industry. Finally, abandoned, definitively closed in the early 2000s. As he spoke, the cycle/pedestrian path ceased to be a line on the map. It became a memory..."

Excellent route, quite challenging in the second section, where there are four really tough holds with gradients of up to 18%. But above all, they are mostly dirt roads, so the route is mostly dirt. It's very beautiful and rewarding, with its 960 meters of elevation gain.
