The route is an opportunity to visit all the beaches of Lignano and Bibione and their hinterland. From spring to autumn the bike ferry service is active between Lignano Riviera and Bibione-Punta Tagliamento. Along the itinerary, which crosses Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, you encounter natural landscapes such as the Bosco delle Baseleghe and the Tagliamento Estuary nature reserve in Bibione, as well as the lagoon channels around Lignano. Not far from the route is the Punta Verde zoo, which is an ideal place for a break immersed in nature. Along the route, you can stop in the centre of Lignano Pineta designed by Marcello D'Olivo in the shape of a spiral or in Hemingway Park, or admire the mosaics decorating the entrances to the beach. During sunset, it will be pleasant to take a refreshing break in one of the many bars with a sea view for an aperitif with company. The X-RIVER boat crossing service is active from April 5 to November 2, 2025: here is the calendar
