The Cosma Mill (formerly Pavanetto) is one of the four currently present in the municipal area, silent witnesses of a time when water was a precious resource and marked daily life. Dating back to the 15th century, as per a document that sets its construction date to 1470, and belonging to the noble families Donà, Contarini, and Zen, it remained active until 1995. It marks the initial/final stage of the Four Mills cycle path completed in 2019.

The Il Mulino Todori (formerly Pamio) stands between the localities of Contea and Canove. The existence of a mill in this area has been known since 1455. Run by as many as three families, all belonging to the Todori branch of the Pamio family, it had three millstones: for maize, for wheat, and for the waste of corn and cobs. The mill was subsequently rebuilt by the noble Soranzo family, who created the adjoining manor house with the architectural characteristics typical of Venetian villas, of which the central trifora can still be identified. The milling activity definitively ceased in the early 1960s. The mill, today privately owned, is located within the Oasi Todori, a municipal green area inaugurated in 201. Characterized by high biodiversity, it currently occupies an area of 2.5 hectares as a refuge and protection area for various species of flora and fauna, including woodpecker, swallow, robin, blackbird, sparrow, finch, water rail. Among the tree species are field maple, hornbeam, poplar, willow, elder, and dogwood.

The Parco dei Laghetti di Martellago is a 54-hectare naturalistic oasis born from the environmental redevelopment of former sand and clay quarries. Located between Martellago and Maerne, it represents one of the main green lungs of the Venetian mainland. The area develops around four main bodies of water, which today host a rich ecosystem of protected flora and fauna, with tree species typical of wetlands and numerous wild birds, also monitored with the support of the WWF. Equipped with flat paths ideal for jogging, walking, and cycling tourism, the park includes equipped areas for picnics, children's play areas, and a refreshment point. With access from Via Fornace and Via Ca' Bembo, it is an ideal destination for leisure and relaxation, easily accessible and integrated into local cycle paths.

Tergolandia (known as The Soul's Park) is an original open-air museum located in Bronzola di Campodarsego (Padova). Born in 2010 to unite art and nature, the park extends for about a kilometer along the cycle-pedestrian path that runs alongside the Tergola river. It is an entirely 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 made by local artists using natural (like wood) or recycled materials. Along the itinerary, 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.

The former Loreggia station today represents a charming resting point along the Ciclovia Ostiglia-Treviso route, one of the most beloved cycle tourism routes in the Veneto region. Once an operational hub of the military railway that connected Ostiglia to Treviso, the building retains the typical architecture of early 20th-century stations, testifying to the industrial and logistical past of the area. After the railway line was decommissioned, the structure was repurposed as a facility for travelers traversing the route immersed in greenery. Located in a stretch where nature reclaims its space, the former station serves as an ideal connection point between the history of the territory and contemporary slow tourism, offering an atmosphere suspended between railway archaeology and rural landscape.

Il Mulino Cosma, in Martellago, is a symbol of the milling evolution along the Dese. Founded in the 19th century, it distinguishes itself from neighboring mills by transforming tradition into a cutting-edge industrial activity, specializing in flour and animal feed. Located within the river park, it represents a perfect blend of productive archaeology and natural landscape. It is a fundamental stop for those exploring the cycle-pedestrian routes to discover Venetian roots.

Il Mulino Todari, located in Scorzè along the Dese river, is a striking example of industrial archaeology and Venetian rural history. Dating back to the 16th century, it testifies to the importance of cereal grinding for the past local economy. Today, nestled in a protected natural area, the site is a beloved destination for walks and cycle tourism. Its well-preserved structure evokes the ancestral bond between man and water, fitting perfectly into the landscape of the "Mulini del Dese".
