The
Brenta river flows through the
Valsugana, which springs from the
Caldonazzo and Levico lakes and it flows into the
lagoon of Venice, after flowing for 175 km.
The river has always been an important transport way, from the mountain to the Adriatic Sea, along the
Via Claudia Augusta Altinate, Roman path where Germanic and Latin peoples came across and left their footprints in the history, traditions, food and drinks of the area.
The
Valsugana Cycle Path connects the Caldonazzo Lake with Bassano del Grappa: a true paradise for all bike lovers. It is 80 km long, with intermingling cultural aspects, history and natural landscape which mark the border between Trentino and Veneto. The Brenta river is a bridge uniting these two regions, a cultural path which resembles the great European Paths.
The river and its route are a unique itinerary marked by interesting cultural, historical, artistic and natural features, crossing a territory rich in sightseeing opportunities.
Its water will accompany you along an easy path, mainly flat, suitable for everybody, to spend some carefree hours, performing sports activities outdoor,
surrounded by nature.
