Tips from the Community
The former Badoere-Levada station is a fundamental stop on the Ostiglia-Treviso Cycle Route, located at a point where railway history meets one of the most unique architectures in the Veneto region. The structure reflects the typical style of the stations on the line, originally designed for strategic and commercial purposes, and today converted to welcome the flow of cycle tourists crossing the plain. A short distance from the route lies the famous Rotonda di Badoere, one of the most spectacular barchesse (rural mansions) in the region, which with its circular shape embraces the public space. The proximity between the former railway line and this eighteenth-century masterpiece makes the Badoere-Levada stop a perfect blend of the recovery of twentieth-century infrastructure and the enhancement of rural historical heritage.

A few kilometers were enough for the route to begin to tell its story. The creaking wood of a long bridge accompanied us towards one of the most silent and memory-laden places: the cemetery of the Burci. Amidst the still water and the vegetation that now reclaims every space, the wrecks of old boats emerge like forgotten thoughts, suspended between past and present. There time seems to slow down, almost to stop, and we too, for a moment, truly stop pedaling...

The Treviso-Ostiglia cycle path is an exceptional example of railway reconversion, born on the route of a 20th-century military line. With its approximately 118 kilometers, it crosses the Veneto region up to Lombardy, offering a flat path immersed in greenery. The route allows you to cycle in complete safety away from cars, passing from the Sile Park to the vast expanses of the Po Valley. The charm of the journey is enhanced by the old stations and railway houses that dot the way, witnesses of an industrial past perfectly integrated into nature. Thanks to its well-maintained surface, it is an ideal destination for families and cycle tourists who wish to discover historic villages and river oases, concluding the itinerary at the gates of Mantua, on the banks of the Po River.
