Cycling along this route right next to the southern valleys, not far from the southern part of the Venice Lagoon, of the Great River, you will see close up the incredible quantity of birds that live, nest and feed here. The many expanses of water valleys, lagoons and branches of the Po, all make this an ideal habitat for birds, and consequently, is a paradise for birdwatchers.  The route is also suited to all those who want to witness firsthand the wealth and complexity of a landscape of water, that is both delicate and fascinating.Difficulty: intermediateLength: 41 kilometresTime: 4 hours circaWhere to leave: Departure is from a car-park beside the church of Ca’ Venier.
