Through the countryside from Jesolo to the River Piave

Jesolo, SCORCI LUNGO IL SILE 598

The district surrounding the second most important beach in Italy looks as if it is suspended between the sandy coastline, the northern part of the Venetian lagoon and wide river courses.The agricultural and inhabited landscape which replaced the originally waterlogged terrain over a century ago, is unique, with its patchwork of scatterd houses, rural villages and extensive orchards.

Jesolo: between river and lagoon

The image of Jesolo village suspended between river and countryside does not do justice to a uniquegeographical configuration where the lagoon of Venice, and particularly its northern appendage, have played a decisive role in shaping the territory of the district of Jesolo. The northern extension of the lagoon and its extensive marshlands, which are used for fish farming (Valle da Pesca), make up the 'other half' of a Jesolo which is historically linked to Venice by the umbilical cord of the 'Litoranea Veneta' - or rather, the first section of this fundamental waterway.

Cycling from Jesolo to the Porte del Cavallino

Jesolo, FIUME SILE

During the first half of this century there was still a regular boat service connecting Jesolo Paese and che capital city of che lagoon.Whoever wanted to travel to Venice could board a quaint little steamboat which would wind its way along the Sile-Piave Vecchia waterway, gaining access to the lagoon via the historical 'porte' at Cavallino.

From Jesolo towards the heart of the Northern Lagoon

The long sandy peninsula of Punta Sabbioni is a natural appendix to the Jesolo territory.It acts as part of the enclosure of the lagoon basin of Venice and also to protect the lagoon from the onslaught of the sea.Punta Sabbioni has a long stretch of sandy beach and a system of low dunes which are among the most interesting and extensive in the Upper Adriatic Gulf.

Cycling in the great area of reclaimed land of Eraclea

Eraclea's recent past, which spans the last 100 years, is closely linked to the great operation of land drainage and reclamation.Before this, it had also undergone another change: originally called 'Grisolera' meaning the place where marsh reeds are cultivated to make 'arelle' (trellises for enclosing the fish farms), the name was replaced by the more noble Eraclea, which is the ltalian for Heraclia.
