Tips from the Community

Luca N.
May 5, 2026, Via Regia Cycle Path Along the Cellina Canal

The Via Regia cycle path is a picturesque cycle-pedestrian route that winds north of Lake Santa Croce, connecting the Alpago and the area of Ponte nelle Alpi to Soverzene. The route, mostly flat and suitable for cyclists of all levels, closely follows the path of the impressive hydraulic engineering works that connect the Piave river to the lake basin. Cycling along this route, you will find yourself immersed in a natural setting of great value, characterized by dense riparian forests and wetlands. The route passes through the Sbarai Nature Oasis, offering splendid views of the reed beds and the lake, before heading north between rock faces loved by climbers. It is a fundamental segment for both local tourism and long-distance cycle tourists, forming part of the famous international Munich-Venice route.

Unlike the classic Cansiglio loop, from Crosetta we descended towards Fregona for about 500 meters until reaching the 14% climb that leads to the Malghe trail. The route runs through Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the municipalities of Caneva and Polcenigo, through pastures. At km 7.41, we turn left to reach the Candaglia Forestry House and then resume the classic tour. We then reach Sant'Anna and Broz. From there, we climb back up to Campon to join the Taffarel.
