The best MTB trails around Marcon

The cemetery of the burci

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 hiking trail and the cemetery of the transport boats is unique.

Along the Restera, the picturesque cycle-pedestrian path that runs along the Sile river between Silea and Casier, lies one of the most fascinating industrial archaeological sites in the Veneto region: the Cimitero dei Burci (Ship Graveyard). In this stretch of water lie the wrecks of nineteen large historic wooden transport vessels, precisely called "burci". Used for centuries to transport goods from Treviso to Venice, these ships were deliberately sunk by their boatmen between 1974 and 1975 as a form of protest against the advent of road transport, which was marking the end of their era. Today, a system of wooden walkways suspended over the water allows you to walk right over the wrecks, which have been partially submerged and colonized by river flora and fauna, creating a unique and poetic blend of history and nature.

The Cimitero dei burci is located at the confluence between the new cut of the Sile and the branch of the Sil morto, in a sheltered bend of the Sile river. Its area is about 15,000 square meters.

One of the most beautiful flat cycle paths, here we are next to the sports facilities of Portegrandi

Because it is on one of the most beautiful flat cycle paths that connects Treviso with Jesolo up to Punta Sabbioni

The Ciclovia il GiraSile is a fascinating cycle-pedestrian path that follows the placid course of the Sile river, winding through the heart of the Regional Natural Park between Treviso and Jesolo. Immersed in a river landscape of rare beauty, the itinerary crosses wetlands, riparian woods, and historic villages, offering a regenerating escape in contact with biodiversity. The route is distinguished by the famous "Restera", the raised embankment where oxen once pulled barges upstream. Along the way, you will encounter the evocative cemeteries of the burci, ancient sunken boats that create an almost magical atmosphere. The path is flat and suitable for everyone, perfect for those seeking a slow experience amidst crystal-clear waters, Venetian villas, and the sweet song of local nature.
