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.

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.

...The Treviso–Ostiglia route has something special: it's a route that carries with it the breath of history. Along the route, old abandoned stations appear, silent buildings that seem to hold the voices of those who departed or arrived there many years ago. Pedaling alongside those buildings, you almost feel like you can still hear the echoes of the trains and the lives that passed through there...
