CONEGLIANO-SACILE

In Castello Roganzuolo, you reach the spectacular Parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul. This place is central to the artistic theme, offering the possibility to explore the territories portrayed in various paintings, including the famous "Bacchanal" of the 1400s (although the painting is a work of Titian, the description refers to a general inspiration of the "joy of living" represented by the artist). Continuing with a spectacular view, it is possible to identify the presumed birthplace of Titian Vecellio (Villa Fabris at Col di Manza, given to the artist as compensation) and admire a copy of the altarpiece (the Castello Roganzuolo Polyptych), whose original is kept in the Diocesan Museum of Vittorio Veneto. The route continues along rolling dirt roads, offering breathtaking panoramas ranging from the plains to the mountains. You reach San Martino di Colle Umberto, where you turn off to visit the museum dedicated to cyclist Ottavio Bottecchia. Resuming along the Meschio river, the route continues through the hamlets of Mescolino and Pinidello. The itinerary then arrives in the town center of Cordignano. Continuing along secondary roads, you reach Ponte della Muda, a historic point marking the border with the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. After crossing the small town of Vistorta, the route ends in the historic center of Sacile, called the "Garden of the Serenissima" for its resemblance to Venice. This itinerary mainly uses cycle paths, riverbanks, and low traffic roads, offering an experience immersed in nature and history between Veneto and Friuli.

The departure point is Conegliano, a town that is easily accessible by train (intermodal option). The route leaves the center, following the Emanuele Filiberto Canal to the municipality of San Vendemiano. Using the new cycle and pedestrian path that heads towards the Treviso plain, you pass the town of Gai. Here, the landscape begins to change with the first hills leading to the heart of the route: Castello Roganzuolo.
