2° day: (H.B) Chioggia - Ca' tiepolo
Breakfast
at the hotel and departure. The start of the route through the Po
Delta could not be better. The history of the Delta is deeply linked
to Venice, which drew its outlines with a gigantic work of hydraulic
engineering: Taglio di Porto Viro. Chioggia, well-known as little
Venice, has a wonderful cycle path that runs along the Lusenzo
lagoon, which is the first section of our itinerary and will take you
first to Sottomarina and then to Brondolo. Particular attention
should be paid to the crossing of the river Brenta, which you must do
by passing over the bridge of the SS Romea (Romea State Road);
immediately afterwards turn right and follow the canal of lagoon Po
Brondolo, until you reach the Adige river. Here we cross the river on
the SS Romea, too, and once past it we take the Destra Adige in the
direction of the mouth, a cycle path that we follow until we meet the
Via delle Valli. Here, begin twelve kilometres of extraordinary
beauty, the route runs through marshes and fishing lagoons that will
take you to Po di Levante, at the mouth of which is the ferry that
takes you to Porto Levante. Continue cycling along the Via delle
Valli, which replicates the landscape of the first part, until you
reach Scanarello, a handful of houses close to Po di Maistra. Here
you can take the road that leads to Boccasette or the one that leads
to Ca' Venier; in both cases you arrive at the bridge that crosses Po
di Venezia and leads to Ca' Tiepolo. Accommodation in hotel, dinner
and overnight stay.
