    The route connects the regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto and consists of two paths along the Tagliamento river linking the town of Latisana with Lignano Sabbiadoro (left bank) or Bibione (right bank). From April to November the bike+boat service is active, connecting Lignano Sabbiadoro with Bibione near the mouth of the Tagliamento river, called the king of European Alpine rivers. The entire loop is a trip with remarkable natural and landscape features: it is easy to spot various species of water birds on the river and in the surrounding countryside. Interesting detours include the Isola dei Picchi and the center of Latisana with its Venetian features. Here you can rest your legs in one of the many establishments in the historic center. In winter, it is possible to cross from one bank to the other via the Bevazzana bridge.

    Safety information

    Be careful when crossing the Latisana and Bevazzana bridges.

    Tips and suggestions

    Circular route mostly on river embankments, otherwise on secondary roads or cycle paths; some short busy sections. The unpaved embankment roads vary: from single tracks to dirt roads about 2 meters wide. Generally, the embankment roads are well maintained but may have tall grass early in the season. Marked route (Gira Tagliamento in Veneto, FVG 6 in Friuli Venezia Giulia).

    Public transport

    Daily Bicibus service in July and August from Udine to Lignano Sabbiadoro with stops at Muzzana del Turgnano and Latisana. From Latisana railway station following the Tagliamento Cycle Route (FVG6).
