CA 20 – Via della Laguna [Veneto]

The starting point of this route is Lignano Sabbiadoro, reachable from Friuli-Venezia-Giulia along the Ciclovia Adriatica, or from the train station at Latisana by following the FVG6 cycle-touring route or the GiraTagliamento route along both banks of the river.

From here, the Tagliamento is crossed near Bevazzana (take care — the bridge section is on a main road), then you continue on secondary roads, partly unsurfaced, along the GiraLagune route, part of the wider FVG2 route, known in Veneto as itinerary I3 – Via del Mare. The GiraLagune takes you through the Castello di Brussa, Sindacale and La Salute di Livenza, crossing the Livenza river on a busy main road, as the cycle-pedestrian bridge is still under development.

Arrival at Caorle is on secondary roads that then join the many cycle paths in the town. From Caorle, you continue entirely on cycle paths through Duna Verde and Eraclea Mare until you reach Lido di Jesolo.

From Lido di Jesolo we choose to circumnavigate the Venice lagoon following cycle paths and inland trails (route E4 Girasile, sections of the Munich–Venice route and sections of Veneto cycle-touring routes I2 and I4), keeping Quarto d'Altino and Mestre as reference points — Mestre has a train station.

From Mestre the route continues on cycle paths and high-cyclability secondary roads to Codevigo and Cavanella d'Adige, where it rejoins the Via delle Isole coming from Chioggia.

From here we enter the Veneto Regional Park of the Po Delta, crossing the Via delle Valli Nord and Via delle Valli Sud, cycle-friendly paths from which you can observe flamingos and many other bird species. We continue through the delta on secondary roads and embankments, pass the Sacca degli Scardovari, an unspoilt area where you can observe the fishermen's casoni, and then reach the end of the route near Goro.

From Goro, the nearest train station is Codigoro, about 20 km away.

Please note: in some sections the route deviates from the Bicitalia BI6 track, following variants considered safer with fewer stretches on main roads.
