Toprecommended route
The itinerary crosses the territories of the Friulian and Veneto lowlands; a route where the Tagliamento river peeps through rural villages and the countryside.
THIS loop starts in Latisana, from where you pedal across the Tagliamento river into Veneto. We proceed along secondary and unpaved roads to reach Alvisopoli, a town built in the early 19th century as an 'ideal city' by the Venetian Count Alvise Mocenigo. Through the town of Teglio Veneto, located within what was once a Roman centuriazione, we pedal our bicycles to return to Friuli Venezia Giulia and more precisely to Cordovado, former summer seat of the bishops of Concordia Sagittaria. This town is listed as one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in Italy' above all for its medieval village with its defensive towers, gates and buildings of the time. From Cordovado we then proceed towards Morsano al Tagliamento, before returning to Latisana, where the loop ends.
